If you were the opposite gender what would you want your name to be?

I pick Gwendolyn because I once had a dream I died and was going to be reincarnated as a girl named that.

I'm fond of Jack, myself. Classic with a hint of infamy.

Kyle, because it's a very simple name.

Jennifer, because I've always found that name to be rather lovely myself.

My real name actually works for both genders, so it might stay the same if I were female. Or maybe Kronice. I have a character in an unfinished Roleplaying campaign named that, and she's awesome. Of course, if anyone in film or an author also genderbends Kronos, I won't be able to use her, but I'm just rambling now.

Don't we already have a thread like this?

In any case, being bigender, I'm fine with my unisex name. Should I wanna change it as a dude though... hmm... I dunno, actually.

Yes, we do have this topic.

The difference between this thread and the other one is the other one is more along the lines of what your name would actually be (e.g., the feminine or masculine form of your current name) whereas this is the name you'd prefer to have if you were the opposite sex.

Actually the other thread seems to be more "what would your parents have named you if you were the opposite sex" mixed with "what is the opposite sex equivalent of your name" where in this one you choose your own name.

Which I guess could be covered in the other, but this one is more specific. *shrug*

While my name is Alesi, I don't want to make a gender-flip of my own name.

Instead, I choose Patty.
Why Patty?
Well, my gemsona is an Apatite, and after the episode Hit The Diamond, I thought my gemsona could be called "Patty" as her decoy name........if she weren't a homeworld gem hehehe.

But yeah, I guess I could choose Patty.

My gemsona is tourmaline but I don't know what male name I could take from that.

Linus!

As for me, I dunno. If I were trans/NB/etc. I'd want my name to still reflect who I believe myself to be, and as it stands, "Trevor" is probably the closest I've gotten to that, and it's almost certainly still considered a male name by most societal standards that include it.

Though, if you really think about it, there's no reason why Tre couldn't be a gender neutral name; numbers are by definition nothing more than "mathematical [objects] used to count, measure and label," and thus are incapable of having any gendered connotations.

I'm nonbinary and go by either Bella or Jasper... hm.

Hmm. I've actually decided that I like Desmond as a guy's name, with "Dez" for short.

I like the name Rachel, so maybe I'd go with that.

I don't know maybe Alice or callie?

So if I was a girl or had a daughter, I really love the names Seraphina or Miranda. No real specific reason, just two very beautiful names.

I think I would choose 'Eric' or 'Joel', two names I've always loved.

Jennifer, as I mentioned in my previous post on this thread, or Janice/Janis.

Thank you! My name is Jennifer. I like it. One of the reasons that I like it is because it's so common that it makes me hard to find, especially with my incredibly common last name...so if I had to be a boy, I'd go with something super basic like James or Matthew.

My name is technically gender neutral, but my sister named me and she picked a name that was trendy at the time. The equivalently trendy boy name would be "Jesse".

I would not want my name to be Jesse. I could see myself as a Seth.

I'd make up my name as "Hazela", it comes from my current username and in fact, one of my player characters in Dark Souls III is also called Hazela.

I actually used to think about this when I was a child. I would be named Karlos. The "k" is just because I liked it.

It's hard to find a male version of my name, actually. But if I were a guy, my name would be...

Dylan. Felix and Augustus would be fine too.

>casually ignores that "Dylan" is gender-neutral

Now that I think of it, Jessica sounds like it'd be a good name for me if I were a girl. Or Nicole.
