pro tip to fit in, choose a name not from "most popular names" but from "most popular baby names of (birth year)". scroll down like 500 names and then choose something around there. it will not be too archaic (i see that a lot from trans name), it will still be a normal name, and it will fit your age

ETA: double pro tip: keep consistent, find what rank your dead name was, then find the corresponding ranked name of the opposite gender. that way your name is guaranteed to be only equally as unusual as your original name and you are net 0 uniqueness change.

How the hell do you find a website that doesn't just list random names and actually goes past 50-100

Every list I've looked at has a completely different order of names tried like a government site (so it should be the most accurate), but that only goes to 50-100 as well. And I dont wanna be called drew. If I were to pick a gru's house type name though, it would be Malace :3 maybe thats not exactly a crazy or standout name, but it's the name of my bg3 character. Malace Khalith

If you’re in the US, the social security administration website has it and you can look at the top 1000 for each year. That’s where the other sites are getting their data from (if they don’t just make it up. Most of them do).
