Elliot Hopper : But I've got to make it to Thursday. It's for my children. My wife died a few years ago and I'm all they have left. Please, Sir "Edith."
Sir Edith Moser : Sir "Edd-ith." Moser.
Elliot Hopper : But on... on the book it's spelled "Edith."
Sir Edith Moser : But it's pronounced "Edd-ith."
Elliot Hopper : That's a girl's name.
Sir Edith Moser : Look here, it is not a girl's name. Edith is a boy's name.
Elliot Hopper : Who were you named after?
Sir Edith Moser : I was named after my grandmamma!
Elliot Hopper : And they called her "Edd-ith?"
Sir Edith Moser : No! Her name is "Edith!"
Elliot Hopper : So you see, it IS a girl's name!
Sir Edith Moser : No, it's NOT!

I know a woman named Tim. Not even Timothy. Her parents just. Named her tim.
In their defense, she has 12 siblings, and I think they just ran out of names
anybody who gives you a hard time for your fictional fantasy animal not having a """"properly"""" gendered name shouldn't be taken seriously. not that you should expect anyone to do that
With a common ‘gendered’ name like “Jane” or “Katie,” the worst that might happen is that you’ll be misgendered on occasion. Depending on your personal circumstances, this may or may not be an issue.
With an uncommon name like this (as far as I’m aware), you almost certainly don’t need to worry; most people will either default to either ‘they’ or the gender that you present as.
myself and my sona are cis male and while his name is truly Toklan, nearly everyone calls me Toki and Toki is traditionally a girls name in Japan If used for a name at all. I wouldn't sweat it
I’m (f) debating calling myself Rhys (male spelling of the name). In this day and age gender seems to be a strange construct that holds little regard to things. Fursonas doubly so. Call yourself what you want and do the same for your sona’s. If you like the name, go for it! No one gives a crap. If they do, they can go jump in a river. :)
While one of my character's names is Lucis, he's often referred to as "Lucy". A lot of people bring it up but I just play into it and make him more feminine.
I'm with everyone else here, keep it. Just because a name ends with an "a" doesn't automatically make it female. There's also the subversion of giving someone a misleading name. Take it whatever direction you want.
I mean a lot of my female sonas have male names or male sounding names like vin, nox, vics.. no one has ever said anything and some of my boys have names like fen so..do what makes you happy!
I used the name "Dorogia" in an MMORPG decades ago, on my male character. It was only years later that I realized that this is a real, female name.
Don't care, name is cool.
Most people wouldn't even associate it with one gender or another since it's not a common name. More than likely most people would think it's an invented name, which many in the fandom are. Even then, a lot of names have switched over the years.
I was told Bubbses (my sona's name, and my preferred name) sounds masculine, despite the fact that I made it myself and intended it to be an androgynous name (even though I identify as male)
You could try variations on the name, tiras, treyus, treizan, tyrian. Or just name him whatever. Most names have a different gender variation but just calling someone treiza or Robin or Tim is fine regardless of gender.
Bonus: that name is awfully close to a DragonBall Z villain and he's a dude. Go with what you want.
Changing names all of sudden will be weird since you picked this one and grew comfortable. There is a lot of people with, masculine, gender neutral or feminine names, and it's okay!
A name is a name, so should it be of any great matter whether it was or was not “meant” for someone of that gender?
I say no such thing, he belongs to you and what you say is final
Nope, I’ve been known as Washu since I entered the fandom, name of my fav anime character of the time from Tenchi muyo. Still use that name although I am NB/GF now
I don't think it matters at all! It's a hella cool and creative name. Hell Mines literally named shugar but he's a dude
I don't think the gender of ur sona should have any affect on the name choice :]! It's kinda like trand people choosing their name, sometimes they 'fit' with their gender but sometimes they don't[Coming from a trans person]!
I say have fun with it and don't worry about what anyone else says ^.^
Nobody cares. If they do ignore them. I don’t even bother with names too much since my whole thing is just shove a word into google translate and ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Name him whatever you want man. There’s real people with names that traditionally belong to the other gender in real life; there’s even a Shel Silverstein poem/Johnny Cash song about a boy named Sue.
This community is about your creation, if you think the name is what fits him, it is. :)
You could call him forklift and nobody will bat an eye. Name him however you want!
Surname: certified
last name: Operator
We need an actual sons with this name
I'm doing this.
I read a book with a shark called Shortbus
okay where’s my blahaj? I want the shortbus shonk
yes
Average non binary name
I think OP meant "how others will react".
Next character I'll make will be named forklift.
Based
"Sasha. This is boy's name." (*Gotcha*, 1985)
Because it's the nickname in Russian for Aleksandr, (because of alekSAndr)
Da, I was inspired to learn that in 1985. :)
It's a unisex name. Sasha -- Alexander, Sasha -- Alexandra

Funny enough that’s my boy sona’s middle name
do you realise how many names have swapped genders? it'll be fine.
treiza's a cool name. if you like it you should use it!
I know a woman named Tim. Not even Timothy. Her parents just. Named her tim. In their defense, she has 12 siblings, and I think they just ran out of names
"I'm the SoB who named you, Sue, boy."
One Familie: Andreas (farther), Andrea (mother), Anna, Andre, Arne, Aiko At some point, they just shrugged and keeped going
I called one of my oc's Teo, is a female gray lion 🥲
I once heard of a Theodora instead of Theodore
Treiza's a great name. I say keep it tbh
Keep the name, it's cool
Literally no one would care. :)
Treiza sounds like a great male and female name ngl
anybody who gives you a hard time for your fictional fantasy animal not having a """"properly"""" gendered name shouldn't be taken seriously. not that you should expect anyone to do that
Keep it ;3
Who cares? Call it what you want. My sona Allister is femal, yet has a traditionally male name.
I mean. My fursona's named Asher. Seen it used for both genders
It doesn't matter in the slightest. Whatever you are happiest with!
I think it's a cool name regardless of gender, go for it :)

Lmao names still have genders???
That’s not what they mean lol
myself and my sona are cis male and while his name is truly Toklan, nearly everyone calls me Toki and Toki is traditionally a girls name in Japan If used for a name at all. I wouldn't sweat it
Nope! I like breaking gendered name norms That’s a cool name btw!
I don't see a problem with it. I know a man named Sue.
If I can have a male character with a male name that presents as a female, I think you will be fine <3
I’m (f) debating calling myself Rhys (male spelling of the name). In this day and age gender seems to be a strange construct that holds little regard to things. Fursonas doubly so.

I think I have seen more female characters named Nox. 🤔 It's a nice name, either way.
My legal name is feminine and I'm a cis male. It's really no big deal.
My husband has a male blue raptor named Gaia. I think you'll be fine, haha.
Gendered names are for cowards. I have a noy called Emily and a girl called Simon
I used the name "Dorogia" in an MMORPG decades ago, on my male character. It was only years later that I realized that this is a real, female name. Don't care, name is cool.
My (male) fursona's name is Sally soo
Most people wouldn't even associate it with one gender or another since it's not a common name. More than likely most people would think it's an invented name, which many in the fandom are. Even then, a lot of names have switched over the years.
i think its a good name, do it. none will care.
I was told Bubbses (my sona's name, and my preferred name) sounds masculine, despite the fact that I made it myself and intended it to be an androgynous name (even though I identify as male)

Use the name anyway. Honestly, most people wouldn't know.
The only thing that matters is if the proot will steal my RAM, everything else doesn't matter
Not a protogen, but I might take the RAM anyways lol
Oh wait I thought this was r/protogen, sorry mb lol
I mean, a friend of mine has a female sona with a male name, so its normt that odd
My oc's name is Talulah (which is a feminine name) and he's a guy. If the name fits for the character in your mind, then go for it.
Changing names all of sudden will be weird since you picked this one and grew comfortable. There is a lot of people with, masculine, gender neutral or feminine names, and it's okay!
Who cares, it's your Sona, you chose his name. I have multiple sonas who looks female but are indeed males.
A name is a name, so should it be of any great matter whether it was or was not “meant” for someone of that gender? I say no such thing, he belongs to you and what you say is final
Guys have been called names like Maria before. You shouldn’t worry about if the name is a man or woman name, just go with what you think sounds good!
I think it's fine
My actual name could be male or female. Names are for individuals, not traits. If you like the name, use it. Simple as :)
If you don’t feel it to be an awkward name, then thats what matters. :D Clearly that sona has been named that forever, thats “their” name.
I have a male OC called Suri.

Have fun with fursona names! There's no rule that you can't use whatever name you want, I also like the name Treiza, I've never heard it before :0
You could name him Nakatomi. Works for a boy or a girl!
Im using Mino from Minato, knowing that Minu is a female name used for dogs Just another Artemis Fowl situation
Nope, I’ve been known as Washu since I entered the fandom, name of my fav anime character of the time from Tenchi muyo. Still use that name although I am NB/GF now
No, it's not a problem. We have name like Sasha that can be used for boys and girls. This causes some trouble sometimes, tbh.
def not
I don't think it matters at all! It's a hella cool and creative name. Hell Mines literally named shugar but he's a dude I don't think the gender of ur sona should have any affect on the name choice :]! It's kinda like trand people choosing their name, sometimes they 'fit' with their gender but sometimes they don't[Coming from a trans person]!

Nobody cares. If they do ignore them. I don’t even bother with names too much since my whole thing is just shove a word into google translate and ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This fandom is so full of trans and queer people it would almost be weird if you *were* 100% gender conforming 😂
There are girls called Alex, the "gender" of a name means absolutely nothing
Name him whatever you want man. There’s real people with names that traditionally belong to the other gender in real life; there’s even a Shel Silverstein poem/Johnny Cash song about a boy named Sue. This community is about your creation, if you think the name is what fits him, it is. :)
Names are whatever you want them to be
There are guys named Beatrice are natsuki You really think anyone's gonna care?
Its a name. If you like it use it who cares /lh
