    So. Aside from physical dysphoria concerning my chest, I am very comfortable with myself and my identity. Sometimes I forget that quite a few people don't know I'm trans (genderqueer) and so I end up outing myself (is that possible?) to them. I've had a couple people ask me what I prefer to be called and I'm like ???????

    Basically, I have some names that I really like and I can't decide on which one to be my first name. I will most likely end up legally changing my name in a couple years since I'm not too comfortable with the name my parents gave me at birth. Too feminine for my tastes and I prefer masculine names.

    Do you know of any methods to find which name fits the best?

    I am stuck juggling with Sigfreid, Sigmund, Ivan, and Dietrich.
    If I were to be named Sigfreid or Sigmund I would most probably use the nickname Sigi (Siggy).

    I am an indecisive person so this struggle does not surprise me in the least but it is no less frustrating.

    Also, I have 6 siblings, all of whom have very English or Irish names. It's probably the only reason I haven't really chosen Sigfreid or Sigmund since they are so starkly different in style and sound.

    Why not just try each of them out and see which one 'clicks'
    You can always change your mind, right now I'm stuck between Katelyn and Katie
