Name Non-Conforming



Name Non-Conforming is a form of gender non-conformity in which the gender typically associated with a person's name does not conform with their gender identity. This includes:


 * People who's names are associated with a different gender than the one they identify with
 * People who's names are not typically used as names
 * People who's names are not derivative of anything and have not been used by a significant amount of people
 * People who's names are androgynous
 * Trans people who haven't decided/don't want a new name

Even if somebody does fall under one or more of these categories, they are not forced to use this term if they aren't comfortable with it.

Flag
The term name non-conformity was coined by Discord user jawsome274#8046 on February 1st 2021, on the LGBTA Wiki Discord server. It was later posted to Tumblr on the same day. The flag was also created by Discord user jawsome274#8046 on the same day. The blue on the flag represents masculine gender identities and names, the pink represents feminine gender identities and names, the red represents androgynous gender identities and names, the yellow represents completely unrelated gender identities and names with no connection to typical human names, and the black represents neutral/genderless gender identities and names derivative of nothing.
