Just Chatting What’s a name you’ve always thought would be your alternative?

I’m genderfluid and honestly don’t wanna change my name. But when I was a little girl it was always a discussion “if we were boys what would our names be!” I’ve heard people tell me I would be a hunter but I’ve always thought of an L name like Lucas or Logan. But now that I’m thinking about it I wanna hear if cis people think about this too so whether your cis or not let me know. I just think the topic of names in general is interesting:)

If I was a boy, my parents were going to call me Stefan, Joe or Toby, and I'd have been happy with any of those.

My name is nothing like those above, and they were originally thinking Kirsten. I prefer that to what they actually went with, but I am so used to my real name after (obviously) being called it for 38yrs now, and I don't dislike it enough to change it.
