I love old fashioned names. Should I ever accidentally reproduce, I am going for Florence or Ivy or Violet. If you love it, go for it.

So long as the middle name isn't Lynne that would be just miserable.

But sooty is right, you weren't given a choice of name at birth, you were labelled and therefore have every right to change it if you're not happy. Remember, names are powerful things, so choose wisely.
Wise words, choosing a surname means making quite a powerful statement about who you are. And one that everyone knows you chose your self.
Some names have very strong and distinct meanings.
So I shouldn't go for Fanny Cockburn, then?
Well Cockburns is always original
Patiently waits for someone to note obscure 1980s port advert pun

I've just eaten 3/4 of the raw chocolate cake batter and have a very little chocolate cake as a result.
I don't feel as guilty as I should.

I think the best thing you can do is put up all the different names you're considering and doing a poll on the BCG and allowing us to choose your new name.
We can do it all again in a year's time for your gender reassignment too.
Oh, how I've missed you!

Talking about gender reassignment, whatever happened to you, I heard you'd become human resources.
I'm considering Twerking the next time I'm at Morrisons deli counter theres a rather attractive young lady who serves brawn so sexily there, Do you think she will enjoy a 50+ Twerk?.
