If you're Trans FtM, MtF, MtG, FtG, or any other transgender identity, then you may consider changing your name. Personally, my birth name causes dysphoria, as it is a very masculine name. When picking your name, there are a few factors that you should take into account.
First, if you're FtM or MtF transgender, you could ask your parents what they would have named you if you were born as the opposite sex. If you identify as a non-binary gender, then this might not help. However, if you're trans and identify as a binary gender, then this could give you a good idea of what your name could be. Second, If you're non-binary, try picking a gender neutral name. Depending on where you live, some names may not be considered gender neutral, even though they may be in other cultures. If you want to pass as male or female, however, do not choose a gender neutral name. It could lead to people questioning your gender. Third, you could look at baby naming websites. This can help you get an idea of what names to consider. It may not help much, but it's there and it could help a bit. You could also consider your background culture and heritage, if you would like to honor your cultural background. Try out the names. Say the names out loud to see how they flow through sentences, and consider any possible nicknames
