my mom: marco
dad: cernunnos of all names
They only thought of boy names for me, so nothing on that front, but my dad wanted to name my sister Preston Thor [last name] which is terrible
if i was afab i was going to be bethany so when i transitioned i added the middle name elizabeth/beth so my mum can have her choice too :)
I don’t know what my parents had planned, but my sister thought she was finally going to get a sister. (Not sure if my parents thought that or if she came up with the theory on her own.) As a result, when I was born a boy, she apparently carried me around the neighborhood telling all the neighbors that I was her new sister Katie.
Emily if I had been a girl, and that wouldn’t have been so bad.
Had I been twin boys though… Tharan and Thurlow. WTF??
I’m trans and I asked my mom and apparently Stephanie and I am definitely not a Stephanie and I physically felt ill for a second after hearing that. Why Stephanie?? Why mom???
Tony. Not a fan
😐
Does the N stand for notafan?
/jk
My sister wanted to call me Cinderella whatever the gender.
Heather. Always figured if I were trans I might use it. Cis af tho
Mine was Heather too, but I ended up being trans so I actually used it.
Always good to have a backup name!
Hey, men can be called Heather if they want.
Sure, but I’m happy with my given name. I guess I meant I might take the other name if I disliked my given name.
They gave my younger sister a traditionally masculine name, so apparently they were already out of ideas on that score.
A lot of names can be converted. My favorite uncle gave his oldest daughter a pretty name, but he wanted a son to name after himself. They quit after having two girls, and he named his youngest girl after himself, with the name converted to the feminine variety.
Probably Margaret or a variation thereupon, there’s at least two in every generation. That’s what I named my daughter.
Probably my sisters name :)
Gender isn’t a binary, so there isn’t necessarily an opposite, but an alternative that my parents considered was “Frankie”.
