what did your parents wanna name you if you were the opposite gender?

I don't know what my parents had planned, but my sister thought she was finally going to get a sister. (Not sure if my parents thought that or if she came up with the theory on her own.) As a result, when I was born a boy, she apparently carried me around the neighborhood telling all the neighbors that I was her new sister Katie.

if i was afab i was going to be bethany so when i transitioned i added the middle name elizabeth/beth so my mum can have her choice too :)

Tony. Not a fan

Heather. Always figured if I were trans I might use it. Cis af tho

Emily if I had been a girl, and that wouldn't have been so bad.

Had I been twin boys though... Tharan and Thurlow. WTF??

My sister wanted to call me Cinderella whatever the gender.

I'm trans and I asked my mom and apparently Stephanie and I am definitely not a Stephanie and I physically felt ill for a second after hearing that. Why Stephanie?? Why mom???

They gave my younger sister a traditionally masculine name, so apparently they were already out of ideas on that score.

Probably my sisters name :)

Probably Margaret or a variation thereupon, there's at least two in every generation. That's what I named my daughter.

They only thought of boy names for me, so nothing on that front, but my dad wanted to name my sister Preston Thor [last name] which is terrible

Fred. I don’t know why.

Gender isn't a binary, so there isn't necessarily an opposite, but an *alternative* that my parents considered was "Frankie".
