    I have chosen a gender neutral first and middle name which is Lotus Raven [Surname].
    I don't know whether it's too weird, but it's definitely more neutral than my given name Molly Louise. Anyway what do you think?

    I like it. If you like it and you think it fits you, go for it.

    My birth name was Promise and I'm thinking of simply going by Romin. Most of my current friends don't understand or don't want to call me by my chosen name because they've known me for so long or they don't think Romin fits me, but I've decided that if I still want to go by it when I go to university, I'm going to do it whether others like it or not.

    If it feels right to you, go for it with all you have.
    Good luck to you. I love the name :slight_smile:
