    So I want to change my name to something gender neutral. I was wondering whether anyone who has changed their name to reflect their gender researched what a potential new name meant or whether you chose it simply because you liked that name

    I've looked through a lot of gender neutral names and none of them really clicked for me so I just picked a short version of my given name. The most important thing to me is that my name feels like /me/, so i don't care about the meaning so much as long as I like the name.
