    I picked my name out and found out later it was what my Mom wanted to call me before I was born! Also, the nurse that delivered me said I was a girl at first - guess she was right!

    You're allowed to change your name as much as you want, you don't have to settle forever with something. I guess it's different for legal stuff.

    Picking an "old lady name" is a very classic stereotypical transgirl thing. I know an Ethel, I know a Beth, etc. You don't have to do that unless you wanna but I guess people do it for a reason.

      Old lady names come back around after a few generations, trans girls are just a bit ahead of the curve

      that's so cool!

      my mom told me my hypothetical girl name when i was really young.

      it literally lit that first spark :trans-egg: in my brain and the name has stuck even though it's pretty generic and not my preferred name
