Nomifluid also known as Namefluid or Abronominal is a term describing an individual whose name is fluid and changes day-to-day or often. This is similar to genderfluid, but instead of their gender it is their name that is fluid.[1]

A Nomifluid individual can have any gender and they do not have to be genderfluid. If they are genderfluid then their changing name may be linked, but it may not be linked.

History

Namefluid as a term was coined by Mod AP on the tumblr blog Beyond MOGAI Pride Flags on February 18th 2019, alongside its flag.[2] The alternate flag was created by Wiki user: Classy Raven, the composition of the flag was inspired by the genderfluid flag.

Nomifluid was coined by Quora user Adrian Santiago on March 24th 2020. The same user created the flag. The meaning of the colors aren’t known.

Mutonominal Mutonominal.jpg Mutonominal is where one goes by certain names in certain situations or with certain individuals.

For instance, going by one name with their significant other verse another name with their friends. The individual may do this for a whole host of reasons, such as general protection, or if they feel they don’t want to be referred to a certain name in the workplace but would appreciate it more at home with their significant other. Or they use their deadname with family but their preferred name in the workplace.

This can also relate to the internet as well, which is called- Webnomiswap, where an individual swaps between a given set of names and another set of names based on whether they are on the internet or not. So for instance, they may use Samantha on the internet but Riley in person. (Citation needed)

Nomiflux Nomiflux.jpg Nomiflux is where an individual's preference of their name or set of names fluctuates in intensity. One may go by a set of names but only one or two in one week is the most preferred but then the next month most of the names in the set are the most preferred or are at the top.

lt doesn't necessarily mean they are genderflux as their name may not be linked as it may not be linked to their gender. (Citation needed)
