Happy: I found a name that I connect with more than my current name and it's been hiding under my nose the entire time!

Unhappy: It sounds REALLY weird with my last name. Like, ridiculously weird. And I can't change my last name.

My divorce is final.

I feel free but also like a failure because I should have known...

Congrats on finding your name!!!! Try not to think about the second part too much though. I'm sure a lot of people have really odd fitting first and last names.

Haha, thanks! I'm just concerned because my last name is an object, and the new name is Luka so it would pretty much sound like "Look a (object)" and I'm just very conflicted on whether or not to go through with it. I just connect with it so much!

I like that!!!! I see your concern though. Because people might also think it was done on purpose...and then you have immature people like me who like puns who would like "Ayyyyyyyyye".

Honestly you and I are the same LOL. But yeah, I'll see how things go with my friends using it for a while before I actually change it!

Blame it on your parents, just like anyone else would. I knew a Cherry Pitts when I was growing up. Randi knew a Matt Tress.

Good point!

On my first job, two of our customers were Dr. Good and Dr. Best. Makes you wonder which doctor you should see.

My Daughter just saw me with a dress for the first time today on FaceTime and she laughed and said that she liked the dress.

I had a lawyer named Chidester*, he's now a judge, and in high school I knew a girl named Ima Hamm.

* One who chides or nags; a scold.

I was thinking of Claire Day, Claire Eve, and Claire Skye for first and middle names.  Lucky for me my last name's potential for odd sounding things is only when people add, remove, substitute and/or separate some letters.

If we're going that route, my dentist growing up was Dr. Butcher. His brother was a surgeon.

April 22, 2015, the day of my first face to face pass in gender neutral clothes and no makeup. It may be months to the next one, but I'm good with that!

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.

They say the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train. I say, climb aboard!

Think outside the voice box!

Hi
I'm Kelly and I'm new here.  I'm happy my wife has decided not to leave or ask me to leave. I'm happy she is trying to adjust to me as a woman.  It's been tough 6 weeks since I told her.

I'm unhappy she won't go out in public with me yet.  The operative word is yet...

[Devlyn]

Happy: I'm hiding it well.

Unhappy:  I'm really struggling.

I know of a Dr. Ambush.

Thanks, hon.

Split the difference.  Go with Dr. Better.
