Well if you like it then go with it!!! Each state is a little different on how they do this. Most you have to submit something to the court and they make a determination. I know in Florida you have to go in front of a judge. So good luck if you are still unsure on the name look at baby name book. I figured it works for naming kids, why not myself, lol!

If you're looking for my stamp of approval, you've got it!  :)

Are you familiar with the process for your location?

Hugs, Devlyn

  I live in Saskatchewan Canada here you only need a written verification from a medical professional who is experienced in transgender medicine When you change your birth certificate for an additional $35.00 they will change your health card and drivers license as well so it is really simple here I wish the rest were so simple

If you like its, it's yours! I found the process very strait forward. I am in BC. Actually, I could not believe how simple and quick it was.  All the Best with the process! Hugs
