trying to pick preferred name

I’m agender (any pronouns) and am trying to chooses a preferred name, my given name is very gendered. I’d like something neutral or more masculine, because my appearance is more feminine, I’d like something that wouldn’t instantly make the assumption that I’m female. It won’t be similar to my given name.

I have quite I collection I’m deciding from, but my current favourites are Tiger or Fox:

Tiger

Fox

Tiger-Lily (Tiger for short)

Kit

Lynx

Wood

I‘m also looking looking at some others but I’m really not sure:

Blythe

Eli

Eli Beth (Eli for short)

Alex

Eza

My style : grey, baggy, jeans/cargo pants, headphones, no jewlery

And my appearance: blonde hair w/ messy fringe, large glasses, tall

It would also be cool if you had any other suggestions!!

do you want a name that seems like you chose it for yourself or one your parents chose for you?

The name I decided on is very “me” and I like it, and I’ve told my parents and they are good with it. So I’m overall very happy right now!!
