Funnily enough, my original middle name is Michelle. I've spent 30 years not really liking it :)

I'm non-binary. My first and last names are fine. First name leans gendered but is technically unisex. I'm in the process of changing my middle name from a generic gendered one to either "Moxie" or "Miles". This is because

  • I don't want to have to change my initials (smh)
  • I feel no affinity towards my middle name
  • Miles is best Sonic the Hedgehog character
  • Moxie is best soda
  • My middle name appears on few documents but my initial appears on many, so fewer things to update.

(Feel free to suggest other less gendered middle names that start with "M" or try to persuade me one way or another)
