Wow, I love what you have chosen to do for yourself and your system. That is very self-affirming. I think I should like to do something similar eventually.
One thing we have already decided to do for ourselves is to get the name legally changed. We associate the legal name with abuse, and the only one of us who ever associated herself with the legal name hasn't been around for years anyway. We are not that person and would like a name that reflects our identity.
We will have to wait for a while before we get it legally changed though because I think it should be a system wide agreement and we are not in contact with all of the system yet.
