    I've been wanting to ask this for a little while now, but I've been kind of hesitant to do so. So, I've been looking for a more masculine or unisex name to go by for my more "male" days, but all the names I've tried don't quite feel right.
    I've been wanting a name that starts with K or C to make it easier to transition between, but all the one's I've tried, and kind of like, don't really "fit". I'm considering going by a completely different name, but I'm still unsure I guess.

    1) If you go by a different name other than your birth name, how did you choose?
    2) Out of curiosity, what name could you see me as?

    I think you look like a Charlie. It can also be spelt Charley but I suppose you could spell it Charlee if you wanted a different spelling.

    Chris is generally unisex, leaning towards masculine so that might be a good fit if you haven't tried it already.

    As for choosing a name, I asked some of my friends for basic ideas and just kind of went from there. I also have a list of names (both male and female) that I really liked from when I role-played actively. It takes a while, but you'll eventually find one that fits.
