Yeah, of course she wouldn't call herself something that seems "old" ... but her name wouldn't have to seem like a counterpart to
Bruce, just to not seem pseudo. I think there are lots of nicer names that aren't badly dated and would have been more believable.
Caryn,
Jennifer,
Joanna,
Christa,
Rebecca,
Ellen,
Charlotte,
Vivian ...
I agree her taste is probably just dated by how old she is but it still comes off as wannabe-young and vaguely pathetic. Admittedly, my opinion is probably influenced by the magazine cover image. (I would say that even if she was not trans)
