Mine was a very common and I mean common name for a boy.  I was named after my Grandfather and great Grandfather.  I can't say I disliked it, but I very fit it.

My name now is a feminine version of that name, which I did not know at the time I selected it.  But go figure.  I am still wearing the name my parents gave me.

I like my male birthname, that's why i definitely wanted to have my parents choose at least one of my female names. Although considering i've spent so much time online, i've gotten so used to being called by my online nickname (even by friends) that it feels odd being called by my male name.

I don't hate it, but it's too masculine to use as my male name I think. However, I have heard of some women who call themselves James, but it still would feel weird to me. Also I've never liked the name "Jamie", for myself at least. I like the current female name I've chosen for myself, Sadie, because it's a very cute name that I don't see a lot of women with (I actually found it by looking at a list of common female names and looking at the end of it. I think it was somewhere in the 70's out of 100 different names).

I'm thinking of making my male first name my middle name when the legal papers are involved. Sadie James kind of rolls off the tongue nicely I think. I may change my mind later, though.

I hate my name almost as much as my genitals & body hair.

My birth name is Nicholas & many people assume that i'll change to Nicola or Nikki but I hate that. As a child my mother would call me Nicky & it always felt like a knife through my heart reminding me of what I wasn't, I eventualy persuaded her not to call me that but when I was 16 she remarried & my step dad was called Nick so to avoid confusion she resorted to calling me Nicky.
Since I told her about my plans to transition she has stopped calling me Nicky, it's as if she is doing anything possible not to think of what i'm going through.

i like the name my parent chose, it's a strong name for a woman and i don't mind keeping it for the rest of my life. not that i'm all that womanly, but a name meaning "eagle strife" isn't really either. but i might want to use a different name at times, i wouldn't really know that yet

I do like it. I like the meaning of it, as well. That's why (as I've said elsewhere) I'll be turning it into my surname.

I will be glad when people stop addressing me by it so much, though. Even though I like it, there's a certain way of saying it with the emphasis on a certain syllable that triggers memories of my controlling/abusive mother and it's not fun.

Although, it's not actually the first first name they chose for me 😛 They were so sure I was going to be a boy (ha!) that they hadn't picked out any girl's names. So while they tried to agree on something, they needed a place holder name, and they called me Fred for the first week or two. I don't think I'd want to be a Fred now, but I do feel a sort of attachment to the name all the same.

I didn't like my birth name because it was sooo popular. There was like 30823049 of them in my school classes growing up so I had a bunch of nicknames growing up.

I would have been an Adam or Allen if I was born male but I knew waaayyy too many Adams and my uncle is named Allen so I thought it would be weird.

The name I have now is semi-popular but mine is spelt horribly wrong so it works.

I really don't like it, it is too gender restrictive. Even though some girls go by Chris it's more of a butch girl's name. So now I'm going by Hannah 🙂

While we're on the subject of names. I want to transition however I present myself as female right now even though I want to be male. Since I am going into college now I decided to change my name to a different female name just for fun (and also partly because I hate my original name, even though it's unisex). But now it's awkward for me and I realize there's no other name better for me other than my actual birth name. Now college is a nightmare though, because I'm going by my new female name and it just reminds me of how much I want to be male and makes every day at school awkward for me.

I hate it. I've always hated it. I've always thought it was just ugly as sin, and absolutely 'not mine'.
I've had a hard time telling people that name since I was a kid, it always felt just...sick.

Im not completely opposed to Miranda, but I dont like it for me. Its kind of a awesome how unique it is around where I live but at least enough people have seen sex and the city to be able to spell and pronounce it.

I do like how geeky it is to with why my parens. Chose it (tempest + taming of the shrew + actor parents = Miranda kate) they even called me kate when I was being a brat. 

Its just way to obviouly femine and awkward now, especially dealing with forms and paper work stuff when people see me and then look at my name and then look confused for a sec.
