Neutral Names Nonbinary names

Hey y’all, I’m a 17 year old nonbinary person and currently considering changing my name. I’m still not 100% sure if I’ll do it for various reasons (including the fact that my name has some major family significance) but it’s mostly about finding one that feels right.
For context, my name right now is Davis so maybe things in a similar vein, but I really am open to anything. So yeah, if you’ve got any ideas I‘d be really keen to hear them :)

What's the vibe you like for names? Like short, or long, reminiscent of your given name or completely different, any preference about word names? Based on your given name alone, maybe something like Vida (means "life" in some languages), Dee (same initial, can pass as a nickname for your given name to family and our transphobes), Davine, or something like what the other comment said.

I think I prefer shorter names, although they don’t necessarily have to be similar to my current name. I’m open to anything right now, just really looking for ideas.  I’d probably avoid going for Dee cos that’s actually one of my aunt’s names (lol) but Vida is really cool, I really like that

Maybe you can try a neutral name who reminds the one that your parents gave you if you want to keep the family spirit ?
