Hmmm, I generally envision people changing genders making their new names close to their old ones (Robert becomes "Bobbi", Lawrence becomes Laura, etc.), though my thoughts on the subject are no doubt warped by many of the stuff I read. Which often hinges on various reminders to the reader that the existing person is a transformed version of the previous one, and has very little bearing in real life.
Until a couple of years ago, the name I would have hypothetically chosen for myself would probably have been "Beth," (as "Bevin" would be perhaps be a little too subtle), though the fact that it's now the name of my grand anti-heroine means it's far too tied up with various parts of my psyche to ever be an appropriate name for myself.
"Eugenics" seems very "you," possibly using "Genna" as its nickname, though perhaps not something you want to introduce yourself as. Likewise Irony.
