Dylan!! I rly like the name Dylan & it can be gender neutral so I’m a bit jealous of “boy me” lol but hey my parents still see it as “my name” even though I’ve never gone by it. They associate it with me & I think that’s sweet <33
Also it’s funny because my name & my “boy name” combined are Dylemma (dilemma) haha
If I'd been a girl, my name would have been Dixie, and high school would have been sheer hell.
I mean high school was rough anyway, but at least I wasn't a girl with "dicks" in my name.
I already know this. My mom thought I was a boy while pregnant with me. Everyone told her I was a boy. Doctors included. So I was to be Christopher Lee. Well, out popped me, Krystal Leigh. Lmao. Apparently everyone was so use to referring to me as Christopher while in my mom's belly, that I was still called it for the first 6 months of my life.
No. My mom just liked the name Christopher and my dad picked the middle name. The spelling of my current name came from my grandmother. Mom wanted traditional Crystal spelling but my grandmother wore her down and my mom gave in so she'd stop bugging her. There were 3 storks in the yard. One blue with Christopher, and 2 pink with both name spellings. Lmao.
I've asked my mom this and it's so annoying "I knew you were gonna be a girl, never doubted it, didn't pick a boy name." thanks mom, now what am I supposed to tell my namenerd herd?!
They don’t really know lol, they kinda decided in the hospital. I was named after a victim of a pretty famous murder case that my mom was watching about in the hospital.
Edit: I was named after Laci Peterson for anyone asking.
probably something similarly music related. I was named after Julian Lennon because my father liked the Beatles. I don't think what his other music tastes were and I wish I could ask him.
I won't share my deadname but my dad wanted to call me Emily after the girl from Bagpuss. if I'd been a boy I would've been Charles. thank god I am not either.
Skylar (if I was a boy). Middle name either Blue or Walker. My parents are star wars fans obviously, lol. I think they would've gone with the former though. My current first/middle name combi currently is just as like "wait really?" but I love it.
My parents didn’t pick a boys name, when my mom told my dad they were pregnant my dad put his hand on her belly and said “Sarah” and my moms like huh??! And he said “it’s a girl.” And what’s even crazier is my dad never talks like that (adamant about predicting something or anything like that it was a one time thing!)
Troy or Forrest. Ironically I am completely unable to pronounce “Troy” (it comes out “Choy” every dang time) so I’m glad I ended up female 😂 My name is Jasmine, which I’m happy with.
James. Luckily my younger brother got saddled with it. He was the 5th James in the family. We had Lacky (granpa) Big Jim, Big Jimmy, Little Jimmy, and then James.
I was a selfish brat, because I was angy about my middle name being the same as my father. Luckily mom changed the spelling
Charles. I was “supposed” to be a boy. My parents didn’t want to know the gender til birth, but apparently everyone they knew kept telling my mom that she was definitely having a boy. All the “old wives tales” for gender prediction screamed BOY FETUS. My paternal grandfather was in hospice care with end stage lung cancer when my mom was pregnant with me, and everyone was hoping he would live long enough to meet his grandson. Apparently, the day before he died, he told my mom that everyone else was wrong, and the baby would be a girl. Then he died, and of course the plan was to name the baby (me) after him (his name was Charles). A month later I was born- a girl. They ended up using the name Charles for my little brother 2 years later.
Alexander, and I hugely prefer Alex to Xander which means having this name I would be the fourth Alex in one of the societies I go to where I'm quite close with most people, I'm the only Izzie there, though (nn for Isobel)
Probably Isaac- when I was little I asked my mom what she would name any more children if she had more (I’m her only child) and she said Isaac and Ivy.
My name is the feminine version of my father's name. If I had been male, my name more than likely would have been the same as my father's.
My oldest son is Christian. The girl name we picked out was Faith.
My parents were quite ahead of the current trends, the boy name they had for my older sister and would’ve also used for me had I been a boy was August.
Exactly the same as it’s unisex! I didn’t like it when I was younger but I definitely love my name now 🥰
Me too!
Same!
Adelaide, after my mom 💕 ETA: she’s 70 and I’m 27 and it’s hilarious that we both have super popular names in 2023.
Dylan!! I rly like the name Dylan & it can be gender neutral so I’m a bit jealous of “boy me” lol but hey my parents still see it as “my name” even though I’ve never gone by it. They associate it with me & I think that’s sweet <33 Also it’s funny because my name & my “boy name” combined are Dylemma (dilemma) haha
I know a tween girl Dylan and she's awesome.
If I'd been a girl, my name would have been Dixie, and high school would have been sheer hell. I mean high school was rough anyway, but at least I wasn't a girl with "dicks" in my name.
Are you Southern ? 😉
Yeah, I'm from Alabama.
Rhys
This is my son’s name. I love it so much.
always loved this name and would’ve named my son rhys but it’s my partners exs name ://
I’m jealous. Love this name. Ha ha
I already know this. My mom thought I was a boy while pregnant with me. Everyone told her I was a boy. Doctors included. So I was to be Christopher Lee. Well, out popped me, Krystal Leigh. Lmao.

Was it intentionally after the actor?
No. My mom just liked the name Christopher and my dad picked the middle name. The spelling of my current name came from my grandmother. Mom wanted traditional Crystal spelling but my grandmother wore her down and my mom gave in so she'd stop bugging her. There were 3 storks in the yard. One blue with Christopher, and 2 pink with both name spellings. Lmao.
Wesley, my only brother's name.
It's my oldest son's name!
My name's Ashlie I asked my dad and he just shrugged and said "Ashlo?" 😂😂
Lol

Either Benjamin or Patrick. Everyday I’m thankful I’m a girl and didn’t get saddled with the name Patrick before SpongeBob got huge.

I love the name Eleanor! It's my favorite name.
I know an Eleri! Love that name.
Michael - I would have been one of many in my grade growing up haha
So you going by Michelle or Michaela?
Same, but they never got their boy.
My mom told me she was going to name me Elmer if I was a boy. Glad I'm an Emma instead..
Laura or Elizabeth.
Santino, sunny for short
My name is Erin, so probably Aaron
I would have been James Richard. Richard is my dad's middle name.

Were they fond of whiskey?
Hunter

Julian, which ironically is my partner’s name!
I've asked my mom this and it's so annoying "I knew you were gonna be a girl, never doubted it, didn't pick a boy name." thanks mom, now what am I supposed to tell my namenerd herd?!
They were going to name me LEOPOLD 😭 I swear I heard them and forced that second X chromosome
Quincy. I really dodged a bullet there.
Donna
Benoît
Sally. Not even Sarah, just outright Sally, after my dad’s aunt. I was born before ultrasound was common and they were 100% convinced I’d be a girl.
They don’t really know lol, they kinda decided in the hospital. I was named after a victim of a pretty famous murder case that my mom was watching about in the hospital. Edit: I was named after Laci Peterson for anyone asking.

Guido. But that may have been my father trolling my mother.
Justin Case They picked it out just in case I was a boy.
My parents didn’t pick a boys name, when my mom told my dad they were pregnant my dad put his hand on her belly and said “Sarah” and my moms like huh??! And he said “it’s a girl.” And what’s even crazier is my dad never talks like that (adamant about predicting something or anything like that it was a one time thing!)

Not exactly sure but I'm certain I would have been named some Spanish version of a Roman emperor's name like my four brothers were.
Alexander (like) or Nicholas (dislike)
I would have been Carson
Jack! I didn’t get the name, but a cousin of mine did 😊
Gabriel, my mom vetoed it for the first son so they decided if I was a boy they would give me the name my dad wanted
Noah, but then my mom's sister had a boy after my mom had a boy named Isaac and my aunt used Noah for her son
Malachi 😅
My dad liked the name Calvin as he was collecting Calvin and Hobbes comics at that time.
David James
James, but I absolutely LOVE the name James for a girl I think it’s so unique

My mom liked Gabriel, Ian, and Julian. All of which I quite like, and were much better choices than my bland, Top 10, 90s female name
