Hey y'all, hope you're having a good day! I was wondering if anyone here could chime in with some advice concerning gender-neutral names. The short form (and my nickname) of my current name is gender-neutral and I'm considering just sticking with it when transitioning. Alternatively I could pick a new, clearly feminine name and go with that one. For me, keeping the old name makes sense in the way that I personally see my transition more as a character development kinda thing instead of it being a "rebirth" like some people experience it. On the other hand, picking a new name would create a clearer sense of ... femininity, I guess?

Anyway, before I keep on ranting, does anyone have any experience with this kind of thing or maybe any articles/links for me to read through? :)
