    I never thought about the idea before but when I asked my mother she said probably Max or Sam.

    My mom told me years ago but I can't remember what it was. I just know I didn't like it. Haha

    Madison, which is how I got my name. It's because my initials would have been MM, which are the Roman numerals for 2000, the year I was born. Never said what my middle name would have been. My guess is either Rhoda or Dora, because that's how they got the middle name they gave me.

    I don't know what they would have named me because my mother just knew I was going to be a boy. My name was either gonna be Giovanni or Paul. I got Paul.

    It was the opposite way around for me. My mum's intuition was wrong. My mum expected that I was going to be born a boy, claims she "felt" it and that it was somehow different with me then when she had my older sister.

    In fact, apparently she got in a bit of a tiff with a nurse about it. The scans were inconclusive (I was curled up too much) and she said to the nurse that she fairly certain I was going to be a boy, but the nurse disagreed with her based off my stats and it turned out the nurse was right.

    For ages my name was going to be "Andrew Edward" until they found out I was most likely going to be born a girl, so they chose the names "Heather" and "Saffron". Apparently they looked at me when I was born and decided that I didn't "look like a Heather" so Saffron was picked. :slight_smile:

    My parents weren't disappointed or anything, just surprised. :grin:

    It'll probably still be Kairi but without a "H" between "K" and "A"

    I've never actually asked them about that:stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I do have a little sister and I believed that I'd get her name, which is Johanna:stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    But personally, I really like these three followin' names: Freya, Alice and Hayley. If I were born as a biological girl instead, I'd love to carry one of those names(A) (if you ask me, I do think that girl names are way more pretty than boy names:wink: )

    I would have been named Nicolas. However, my name now can be used for males as well, so I would have kept my birth name if I realized I was trans.

    I would have been named after my grandmothers. My names are those of my father but reversed (his middle name is my first, his first name is my middle). Also, if I ever transition, I'll change my name to what it would have been if I was born a girl.

    Alyssa, most likely. It is my younger sister's name since I was born male.

    If I remember right the other close ones were all L names: Lindsey, Lilian, Lynn.

    I got a male name because I was AMAB, but a couple of years ago my mom said if I'd been AFAB she would have named me Bella.

    Wait, opposite sex or opposite gender? If I'd been AMAB I would've been Tyler and they were also considering Ashley and Natalia for an AFAB kid but I actually wasn't named any of those XD They changed their minds at the last minute...
