Bruce Jenner changing his/her name to Caitlyn got me thinking......what name would you choose if you decided to be the opposite gender?
I asked my DD and she said Jason. Although my name, Kelly, could go either way, I'd want a fresh start and pick Jacob.
Total fluff!

Since I'm a Leanne I'd probably go with Liam

I think I'd be Will. My husband didn't want to play this game.

Well my name could be either a boy or a girl, so I'd keep it but spell it differently.

Well, my alter ego name here is Conchita. So I'd have to have a flamboyant Latin male name to match. I would be known as Chuey! In all seriousness though, I'd probably pick something gender neutral like, Gabriel or Emmanuel.

James.....no connection to my name but its a timeless, dignified name imo and that would be suitable I think. Not attention seeking, just quiet and solid.

Daryl or Steven or Daryl Steven.. I think I'd pick a name that "belonged" to my birth year/decade like my actual name does. My name very much pins me to a certain decade. I think I'd go with a male equivalent instead of a more currently trendy name.

Derek...always loved the name, but didn't name either of my boys it because our last name starts with a D. Typing it out, it seems lame now. But assuming I wouldn't be married, I wouldn't have a D last name and i'd go with Derek.

Maxwell. It was my grandfather's name and no Jessica Simpson - It is NOT a girls name!

As an aside, I have transgender child that was born Brianna and now goes by Brian. I like to joke with him that if I knew what I know now, I would've given him a gender neutral name so I wouldn't mess up the name thing.

I would have been Rory, had I been born a boy. But, I'd chose Graeme. I love the name and spelling.

Rumor has it I was going to be a Robert or a Daniel if I had of been a boy, so I could go with that. If I got to pick though, I would probably go with something less conservative (my name is VERY boring) like Fisher.

hmm...I don't know. My parents would have named me David Angus and I could see that. David fits well with my real name generation wise and popularity wise (although my real name was trending down by the time I was born)

<---- I haven't really thought about what name I'd pick, but the name my parents had picked for me was Edward (my grandfather's name). So in the absence of something better, I can always default to that. (Harley, btw, was the boy name they picked for my sister.)

Good question! I'm drawn to the name Everett after my grandfather and I love the name. But then I'd also probably like something simple and unassuming. I'm really not sure.

Kevin would have been my name if I'd been born a boy. I like it. I would pick John or Seamus for myself now, I guess. Neither one goes well with DH's last name, so neither name got used with my sons.

Well, I was born in 1970, and the only Top 100 name I like for a male from that year is Travis, so I'll go with that. I like Benjamin, too but my last name starts with B.
I really like Nathaniel, but I think I'd at least go with something that was the same first letter as the name my parents chose. And the closest to Tania is Tanner, which I don't like. It wasn't actually on the list; I think it's a more 80s name.
I have no idea what my parents would have named me had I been a boy.

I honestly have no idea what male name I would choose for myself if I had to pick something. I know it wouldn't be anything common, nothing in the top 20, no family names and nothing that sounds like I just made it up. I had a hard enough time deciding on a name for DD and we had months to think about it!
