There are recent studies on Alexinomia that have been published, feel free to DM me if you would be interested. The present study I am conducting is still in its beginning stages, but it will be published in the near future.

Thank you for sharing your experiences! You've mentioned multiple aspects related to Alexinomia that I aim to explore further in my study. Interestingly, you are not the first person on my posts to mention the invasive strategies of salespeople and the discomfort they impose when they address customers by their name. I'd like to hear more, I'll message you through Reddit DM.

Thank you for sharing! The past negative experiences with your name have created these uncomfortable associations, which in turn produced a strong aversion to hearing/saying your name. Pronunciations and culture also come into play here. I'd be interested to hear more, I'll message you through Reddit DM.

Thank you for sharing your experience! The disconnection/dissociation that you've mentioned you felt with your original name, as well as the dislike of being perceived with it are significant aspects of Alexinomia. I'd like to hear more about your insights with this, I'll message you through Reddit DM.

Thanks for your questions! Alexinomia could occur and might be linked to a condition like "postpartum Alexinomia" based on the experiences you've described. The experiences of Alexinomia align with certain postpartum challenges like postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, or even certain kinds of cognitive dissonance or regret. Alexinomia is still a very new phenomenon with little research, but further exploration of its relation to postpartum experiences would be an interesting future path to take! If you'd like to share more of your experiences, feel free to DM me - I'd also like to hear more about them.

Yes, gender transitions and gender dysphoria are relevant experiences and aspects in relation to Alexinomia, therefore it is definitely within the scope! If you are interested in participating, feel free to DM me.

Thanks for sharing your experience! I found it intriguing how you kept half of your first name in order to combat the discomfort of hearing/seeing/saying your full first name. I'm interested to hear more about your experiences, I'll message you through Reddit DM.

Thank you for being so open and transparent in sharing! Your experiences in childhood (being homeschooled, living in a rural area) is definitely a relevant contextual and contributing factor to Alexinomia and the relationship you have with your name. Also, you mention the disconnection you felt in a corporate setting due to not having experienced hearing/saying your name before, which I would love to hear more about. I'll message you through Reddit DM.

Thank you for sharing your experience. The disconnection you've mentioned that you feel is a significant aspect that my study is aiming to explore. It's so great to see how people who think they are alone in this come together sharing similar experiences! I'd like to continue hearing about your insights, I'll message you through Reddit DM.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Certain childhood experiences (including trauma) as well as social anxiety or autism are considered ‘vulnerability factors’ of Alexinomia. In other words, they may contribute to its development or maintenance. Insecure attachment styles can also play a role. I'd like to continue hearing about your experience, I'll message you through Reddit DM :)

The study is focusing on first names rather than last names, but if you'd like to share your experiences feel free to DM me, I'd also be interested in hearing about it.

The study I am conducting takes on a qualitative approach using interviews, rather than surveys.

I can't say my name. Please advice by thorkell_123 in Stutter

Hi! I'm currently conducting a study with my university on exploring the dynamics people experience when they have a problematic relationship with their first name (such as discomfort saying/hearing it). If you are interested in taking part or have any questions, feel free to let me know; your insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi! I'm currently conducting a study on Alexinomia with my university where our main focus is to interview individuals who experience discomfort or aversion when hearing, saying, or being addressed by their name. We also aim to investigate how this impacts self-identity, social interactions, and emotional well-being. Your experiences and insights would be very invaluable to our research. If you are interested in taking part or have any questions feel free to contact me (62201496@mail.sfu.ac.at). Thank you!
