Multinominal also known as ‘Polynominal’, ‘Plurinominal’, or ‘Pluronominal’ refers to an individual who goes by and identifies with two or more names.[1]

Those who are multinominal may for one reason or another may:

1. Use two or more names at the same time, they alternate between the ones they are most comfortable with at the time.

2. Use certain names in certain situations, this may be that they use their deadname in situation where they have to, or they may use one name with friends and another with online friends. (See Mutonominal)

3. Let others decide what name to use, this might be their friend choosing to call them one name and then another calling them another name. For example, friend A calls them Scarlet whilst friend B calls them Amy.

4. Use different names at different times, this can refer to them being fluid in how they call themself, or their preference fluctuates.

5. They are a system and find that all members having names are important, the body may have these names or the individual system members, or both.

One also may use this if they are multigender or they are genderfluid etc, where they feel as if having multiple names is representative of their gender.
