Just picked a normal-ish name off a list that shares its initial with my deadname (well, more like zombiename at this point), so my work email can’t change and i can just go by “F. Lastname” instead of “Firstname Lastname” when i want to keep my gender ambiguous.
ETA: you can also just try out a name with friends or on socials for a bit before committing to it, and you can always change it later.
