if you want to share, what was the first trans name you ever picked out, or a name that could be suited for your gender? (thelemmy.club)

If I was born a boy, my parents were planning on naming me Michael. I chose Mikey for short at age 13, but before then, I had a (girl) OC named Rowan, whose name could suit either gender.

My parents were gonna name me Benjamin if I were a dude but they settled on Rebecca because I'm AFAB. I probably would have picked Benny as my nickname had I chosen the name.
