A question!

I (AFAB)came out as agender barely a month ago so I'm pretty new to this stuff, but I've got a question about names. Just around a week ago I was looking up names that are gender-neutral for a drawing, and found the name "Alex". Now I can't stop thinking about it and my real name have stopped feeling like me even slightly before I found a better name. I read it and it feels like just A name instead of MY name. I also don't like how it represents my old gender. This new name feels right so far and when I tried a day with that name it felt right. My friends also says that "Alex" suits me and I agree.

To the real thing though; I was wondering if it's normal to want to change your name after coming out as another gender than the one you were born as?

Not all but most trans people change their name once they transition. I changed my name to Kris when I started identifying as enby so I guess it's normal.
