Most metals work pretty well

  • Aluminum
  • Bismuth
  • Mercury
  • Nickel (some people are already named this, but spelled Nicole)

Nickel... spelled Nicole

That's some crazy pronunciation if those two sound similar.

With how many trans women name themselves after gemstones, more trans men should name themselves after metals

Cobalt would be a pretty sick name.

Would anyone willingly choose Al for a name (short for aluminum). Steel, or Tin is maybe cool, but the nickname options for like Titanium are pretty bad.

paul simon?

[–] MBM@lemmings.world 2 points 4 days ago

Tin

Stannum sounds okay-ish too

[–] isyasad@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

There's still some pretty good options. Titus, Titan, Ty, Ti (Tee I).

[–] fubbernuckin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 days ago

That would be pretty metal

Hi I'm Wolfram, last time we met I was Jane....

Nickel (some people are already named this, but spelled Nicole)

I swear, if one of y'all says some silly-ass name...

Steven Universe...

The fact that Bismuth is a gem implies that there are other metals, and I wanna meet Tungsten

Also on the topic of gems, that's a goldmine (so to speak) for this thread. Rutile, Amethyst, Zirconia, Phosphophyllite, Cinnabar, Padparadscha, Bort, etc

she's massive.

Tiny! but massive.
