I need names for a short story?

I'm writing a short story about a girl who battles anorexia. It's really based on my personal battle with anorexia. I first had it in 5th grade, but I relapsed this past summer. This summer, I was hospitalized for malnutrition and heart problems. I was 5'11 and weighed 87 pounds and 3 oz. Clearly underweight. I've been in therapy for a while and my therapist said it might help for me to write about my struggle and overcoming that obstacle. It's supposed to be theutic and I want to do it in front of my creative writing cl. The only thing I'm stuck on is the character's name. I don't want to use my name, because I might start crying. It brings back horrid memories. But if I use a different name, it might be less personal. I just can't think of one. I just don't want to use a name like Piper, Poppy, McKenzie, etc. But other than that, anything goes. :) Thank you for letting me vent and thanks for the help. Sorry it's so long. hahaha
