Here’s how Caitlyn Jenner chose her new name

Caitlyn Jenner broke the internet yesterday when she officially shed her former male identity with a beautiful Vanity Fair spread.

With the publication of an incredible series of photos by renowned photographer Annie Liebowitz, Caitlyn told Vanity Fair writer Buzz Bissinger that she finally felt "free."

Speaking on Good Morning America earlier today, Buzz gave some further insight into Caitlyn's journey over the last few months, as she prepared to reveal herself to the world.

A hugely important part of that process? Choosing a new name.

Along with the now-iconic Vanity Fair cover, one of the most talked-about topics over the last 24 hours has been Caitlyn Jenner's name, and Buzz revealed that it was picked with extreme care.

"She made a list of names, had a close friend make a list of names. Caitlyn was on both," Buzz told host Robin Roberts.

While it would have certainly been a dramatic gesture to choose a "K" name like her daughters and ex-wife, the reality star was clear that was not something she wanted to do. "Folks, it's Caitlyn with a C," Buzz emphasised.

The Vanity Fair interview also details Caitlyn's uncertainty about whether what she was doing was the right thing, and her massive panic attack in March of this year following her facial-feminisation surgery.

"What did I just do? What did I just do to myself?," Caitlyn told the magazine of her though process after the surgery. With the help of a counsellor Caitlyn says she was able to work through those negative thoughts, many of which were attributed to the effects of pain medication.

What a journey it has been so far for Caitlyn Jenner – we can't wait to see what's next.
