That was part of my thinking, too. I've always toyed with social roles, even before I came out as trans. So, why should this be different?
I liked the sound of Maddy, too. The thing that worries me about the more neutral terms like Maddy and baba is that they're lesser known. Thinking about that during my pregnancy caused me a lot of anxiety (what if kids pick on her?, what if no one else listens and still calls me mommy or daddy?, etc).
Thanks both of you.
