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 are virtually no Ada’s my age. They’re all 30 years younger than me or 30 years older than me. And my birth name was genuinely one of a kind.
I think that sort of thing is worth thinking about, but it’s not something worth giving too much consideration, because you’re the one that has to live with it and other people just don’t care that much.
