Naturally as I transition, I am thinking about what I should name myself.
So far:
Lilly - just like the ring of it.
Stella - really like this one. It means star in latin so thats cool, and I think it suits me.
Sophie - thinking about naming myself after the 1700s/1800s mathematician sophie germain. I’m obsessed with maths so it suits me on that level, but tbh I still like stella more.
Anyway, thats it!

There is a scene in a play called Streetcar Named Desire which was made famous in the movie version with Marlon Brando as he yells “STELLAAaaaaa”.
I dont want to scare you off from that name but it is something to prepare for. I spent way too much time trying to figure out how many ways i could be bullied by the name i chose but it is not a requirement. Stella is a solid name choice!
I love all three names. Personally i would go with Sophie because thats the name of the artist that performs as Soccer Mommy. :)
Good luck on your name picking journey! Try using the names you want to pick up things from stores etc so you can see it / hear someone else saying it. I had limited success doing this at coffee places for example.
