Ones name is probably the most important possession a person has. Without a name, a person is just another person. A person can be represented by their class, clothes, education, race and religion, but without a name, everyone just seems to blend together. The name we use, the name we pick as being our true selves can be very difficult to decide. I had a lot of trouble deciding who I was; I thought I was a normal crossdresser. I didn’t discover I was transsexual until I was probably 15 or 16. At that time, I didn’t want to be known as my male name, because cross-dressing gives one that character we seem to play, the one we like to be for whatever reason. So since I have tried a bunch of different clothes, had a few wigs or had my hair at different lengths, I chose a different name to keep me in the imaginary world, I used a different name every time. Of course we don’t have to do that, it was just me, but at that time I didn’t think much of names then.
To find a name you need to really think about it, try it on for a while; see if it really works for you. I never worried about, more than the first name either, the middle name is also important. The middle name is important to not be known as a Jim or a Cindy; you want to be known as like a John Wayne or a Mary Beth. When you actually come to change your name, you may even want to, but certainly don’t need to, change your last name. With all these parts together it makes you stick out among the crowd in a list of names. Such as looking for a job, names can blend together when an employer is looking at applications. You can be unique, but certainly don’t have to.

Now I want you to do something.
1. Go to google.com and look up popular baby names for the year you were born.
-Is your birth name on the list?
-Is your new name on that list?
2. Lookup popular names in the current year
-Is your name on there for either new or old?
3. What is your birth name?
4. What is your current or name you like to be called when being your other self?

-No
-No
2.No
3.Grant
4.Andria

I'm not sure what you meant by is your name on the list if you meant at all or in the top 20-50 region so I went with in the top 20. If on the list at all the answers are all yes with Andria being in the 900's range and Grant in the 150 range.
