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.

I actually used Willow for a few months when I started my transition. I had my reasons, and they were true to me. The name didn't fit in the end, but I wore willow tree earrings to my court date when I got my current name! She's part of me, and always will be.
