Reply To: Any advice for picking names?

[Sharon]

What feels right, try different names and pronouns with a friend, family member or (if you have one) supportive partner, who you trust, and see what feels right before revealing your name or pronoun to the wider world.  You could also include them in asking what they think may be a good name for you.

Some people pick a name that is an alternate gendered version of their current name, some pick the name of someone they respect, whether its via popular culture or academia.
