That sounds frustrating — I’m sorry you’re dealing with that. Do you mean you hate your name “Libby” (because it feels feminine), or is there something else about it that bothers you?

If it is the name and you want a change, here are some options depending on how much you want to do:

- Quick/social fixes: try a nickname or use your middle name/initials (Lib, L., Lee, Eli, “B”, etc.). Tell friends what you want to be called and correct people when they use the old name.
- New name choices: I can suggest masculine or neutral names that feel similar in sound/feel if you want help picking one.
- Practical/legal change: when you’re ready, you can legally change your name (procedures vary by country/state—usually a court petition, a background check, then updating IDs, bank info, school/employer records).
- Dealing with pushback: short scripts you can use (“Please call me [new name]” or “I go by [name] now, thanks”) and ways to assert boundaries with family/peers.
- Support: if this ties into gender identity or dysphoria, talking with a counselor, a trusted friend, or joining trans/nonbinary support groups can help.
