I have always really liked my name and though it's a female name - never heard of a guy with my name -  it's not very "girly" at all (very much like 'Shannon', though that's admittedly unisex).  Even though I'm FTGQ rather than FTM, I do know that if I had a very feminine name I would feel very compelled to change it to something less gendered.  My middle name is super feminine but it's in honour of someone VERY important to me so I don't think I'll change it.  That's a tough one for me... I wish it was more neutral.
I've noticed a trend recently of folks using historically male names for girls.  I loathe tabloids but with grocery stores as part of my life, I do see things from time to time...  I think it was a celebrity who recently named her daughter Maxwell?

I wish. I haven't had to hear it very often since I legally changed my name, but when I do I flinch and/or feel like I'm about to throw up, before I can even stop myself. My birth name is rare but unmistakably female, so in my head it's really only associated with my past self. And my past self is associated with bad memories.

I know this feeling exactly. I still get emails from old website subscriptions that are addressed to that name. And I feel the EXACT same way about it. To a t...

You would hate working as I do then, with a boss who has my former name.

The very first thing I did after coming out was get my name change...
