I do like the name Jenny, but I wouldn't name him that. I associate the name with Pirate Jenny from the Three Penny Opera.
"The song depicts Jenny, a lowly maid at a "crummy old hotel", imagining avenging herself for the contempt she endures from the townspeople. A pirate ship – with eight sails, and with 50 cannons – enters the harbor, fires on the city and flattens every building except the hotel. The pirates come ashore, chain up all the townspeople, and present them to Jenny, who orders the pirates to kill them all. She then sails away with the pirates.
The song was originally placed in the first act and is sung by Mackie's bride, Polly Peachum, who resents her parents' opposition to her trying her luck with Mackie and is fantasizing about avenging herself on the constraints of her family. However, the song is frequently moved to the second act and given to the prostitute Jenny. Jenny has given Mackie, her former lover, shelter from the police but is jealous of his wife, Polly. Eventually, she tips off the police, who catch Mackie and take him to his hanging. Her song suggests that she likes the idea of having Mackie's fate in her hands."
Not exactly appropriate, as you can see. I do like the idea of feminizing him. He's expressed his love of humiliation and female clothing which makes me much more comfortable in naming him. Thanks for the suggestion DarkSteven.
I don't know exactly what he expects, but I see this as potentially becoming a long term friendship. He has insinuated something along the same lines. If it doesn't work it doesn't work. I send back the key and things go back to the way they were before, at least I assume so.
