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.

I gave away my favorite girl's name to my daughter. After coming out I was nearly Naomi, but I don't like how a lot of English speakers pronounce it as "nay / nigh oh me" instead of "now me". My wife suggested Amy and I thought "fuck it, that'll do."
