Some individuals decide to change their name to match
their gender identity. It's important to take your time and
choose a name that resonates with you.
One suggestion is to ask a few trusted friends to call you
by a name your thinking about, to test it out and see if it
clicks.
Remember, your name is your choice.
TIP!
Some individuals opt to use a name that starts with the
same first letter as their given name, while others modify
their given name slightly to achieve a gender-neutral,
feminine, or masculine vibe.
