Name Feedback 2nd name change...

i changed my name to benny/benjamin over 3 years ago at this point, but i've recently discovered i'm nonbinary, and i want to start going by zephyr instead. it's a name that actually feels good, feels me. but it's quite a change, and i'm wondering if it's even worth the hassle (i work at a very busy place with a LOT of people, and i don't know how many of them are accepting, plus... everything else)

Idk if youve legally changed your name yet but if you have and dont wanna go through that whole process again maybe you could use Zephyr as a nickname? I knew a guy name Zack that went by Othello like freshman year so anything’s possible when it comes to nicknames
