What is ace name?

Ace names, also known as alias names, are chosen names used within the asexual community, often by individuals who don't feel comfortable sharing their birth name or who want a name that reflects their asexuality. They are primarily used online or in asexual-specific spaces, allowing individuals to express themselves more authentically and connect with others who understand their identity. Some asexual individuals might choose an ace name to experiment with different identities or to feel more empowered in expressing their asexuality.

Choosing an ace name is a personal and empowering process. There are no strict rules, and the choice is entirely up to the individual. Here are some common approaches:

• Names with Meaning: Many people choose names that relate to the asexual spectrum, such as names containing "ace," "aro," or related terms. For example, Ace, Gray, or Aros are common. (See more about <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Asexual%20Spectrum">Asexual Spectrum</a>.)
• Gender-Neutral Names: Given that asexuality is independent of gender identity, some individuals opt for gender-neutral names to avoid assumptions or to align with their gender identity (or lack thereof).
• Symbolic Names: Some individuals pick names that represent something meaningful to them personally, such as a favorite character, place, or concept.

Ace names help foster a sense of community and belonging within the <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Asexual%20Community">Asexual Community</a>. Using an ace name can be a significant step in embracing one's asexuality and connecting with others who share similar experiences.
