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??

    My sister wanted to call me Cinderella whatever the gender.

    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.

  • 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???

    Probably Margaret or a variation thereupon, there's at least two in every generation. That's what I named my daughter.

    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

    Gender isn't a binary, so there isn't necessarily an opposite, but an alternative that my parents considered was "Frankie".
