Here's a link on a name site to a discussion of crossgender name equivalents. :) It's fun.

Interesting comments on choices and possibles. If I ever have trouble with a name I go here :

You can search alphabetically, popularly, ethnic origin, get alternates and similars and other options. I always need a name to hang the character on or I have trouble knowing who they are. I guess with Google/Wiki and a word/phrase translation site that's the one I use most in writing. Dictionary or Thesaurus I use real books, kinky huh.

ronnie and ricky play girl
I didn't have a serious transgender epiphany until I was 12 or 13. As a little kid, while I did some
"gender inappropriate" things that got me some comments, I really didn't think much about my gender.
But one day during recess in first grade, I was off on the far side of the playground with some other
outcast boy when I got an idea: "I know, let's play like we're girls!"
My friend Ricky was all for the idea, and---abracadabra---we were now girls. While I remember it being a lot of fun I'm not sure what all we did to be girls. But do recall that at one point I decided we needed names. Being Ronnie, I decided I was Veronica (The name stuck, when I finally did have my moment of clarity
I knew with certainty that Veronica was my name...) I asked Ricky who she was now.
She put her head up proudly and trilled, "I'm Ve-Ricky-Ca!"
I'm not sure what became of that kid. Wasn't in the neighborhood long. But Verikika, if you see this, PM me...
~~~hugs, Veronica

Hilarious story, Laika. :) It has that cartoony ring of truth. Only real people can be that silly.
