What would you have been called if you were the opposite gender?

My brother was named after Gary Cooper. My mom told me she had considered calling me Elvis. That would have been horrid.

Elvis would be a different name, for sure.

Not something I ever asked my parents, had I been born properly. Probably not Crystal, and I don't know how I feel about that, I love the name Crystal.

 

[Kyng]

I would've been Amy .

 

[Crys]

I have no clue.

You should make that your user name

Really? I think "If I was born in the right body I would have been named Paul. But Axel is a much cooler name and that's why I went with Axel. " is a little bit long to be a username. 😅 😅

Who knows..

Same here, it had never occurred to me to ask. It also isn't really possible for me to do so now.

He could go by Axel for short

That would be amazing though if they went by that full username. Axel is a good name though. Isn't that a Kingdom Hearts character?

Yes! That is the one! Not sure why I randomly remembered him though. I mean my ex is called Yuna and during our 3 year relationship I never once remembered the Final Fantasy character. Yet in this brief exchange I remember a character much less central to the respective franchise.

 

[Ravenfreak]

Lol he's my spouse's favorite character, however I actually went with the name because of Axel Stone from Streets of Rage. Axel from Kingdom Hearts is cool though, but Terra is my favorite Kingdom Hearts character.

I was born back the day before determining the sex of an unborn child was common. So my parents had no idea what was coming out until I was born. Regardless, they were fully expecting me to be a boy and my name was going to be Nathan. Spoiler alert: I wasn't a boy (still not a boy, actually

) so they didn't name me Nathan.

 

[ElegantAura]

Not sure, already my name not not chosen by my parents

I was born back the day before determining the sex of an unborn child was common.

It's "all the rage" nowadays, a very popular & practical trend; but, in hindsight, I still hang onto the notion of totally loving the surprise.

 

[EllieCat]

Lee.

[MrDawn]

Who knows..

Same. I wonder if I'd been given my sister's name if I had been born a woman instead.

 

[Mendalla]

Unsure. I know what they had picked out if my youngest brother (8 years younger) had been a girl but not sure if that was a carryover from the first two (me and number two) both being boys or if they came up with it for that birth. There's only one girl in my generation of the family and she's a cousin (my aunt's daughter).

 

[cynosure.x]

Honestly sometimes I wish I was born a boy. My name would've been Lars. Love it!
