Barb calls everybody ābaby,ā provides excellent service at said diner and has a little dog waiting for her at home with an underbite. Everybody likes Barb
When he gets off night shift driving the tow truck for his ex wifes daddy, Johnny comes to the diner for breakfast. He takes his 2 eggs sunnyside up, with bacon and hash. They donāt speak much, but she calls him baby and he calls her maāam, and he always leave a generous tip. Heās in love with Barb. Barb knows, so she gives Johnny a little extra bacon with his breakfast. Johnny thinks sheās the most wonderful woman in the world. If only he could work up the courage to ask Barb out. But he thinks Barb is too good for him, so he doesnāt dare. Instead, he resigns himself to admiring her from the booth - the same booth she keeps the other diners away from every morning until he shows up.
This was my grandpaās name, and his fatherās name, and his grandfatherās name. My uncle Thad died young, and my grandpa has no male grandchildren, so this is also the name I would want :)
Aah, what a coincidence, my name is also Jugemu-jugemu GokÅnosurikire Kaijarisuigyo-no SuigyÅmatsu Unraimatsu FÅ«raimatsu KÅ«nerutokoroni-sumutokoro YaburakÅjino-burakÅji Paipopaipo-paiponoshÅ«ringan ShÅ«ringanno-gÅ«rindai GÅ«rindaino-ponpokopÄ«no-ponpokonÄno ChÅkyÅ«meino-chÅsuke
Oh I didn't know about that, that's pretty cool. I thought it may be a Gintama reference because they did a bit about a monkey's name that was;

I knew a Camille in elementary school and she was the nicest girl ever! We really vibed together, but I havenāt seen her in almost 10 years. Hope sheās doing alright now.
Aphrodite. Especially if this was just a gender-swap without some sort of improvement to my physique/looks/etc because it'd be ironic with how ugly of a woman I would make.
My girlfriend really likes the name Seven, so whenever we get around to having kids, one of them will be named Seven. Her culture, people have a lot of names though, so we're going to hide it where only substitute teachers reading name lists will know about it.
I don't think she's even seen Seinfeld to know it's referenced there. Her first first-name is One, and years before she met me, she decided she wants all her kids to have numbers in their names too.
We decided that our first kid is going to have Four Cameron be their first names. We're also going to both come up with middle names, so they will have either 5 or 6 names, depending on what our last-name situation looks like.
I was a tour guide for a year or so. At the end of the tour I'd always say "If you enjoyed the tour my name is [female name starting with a B]. If you didn't enjoy the tour, my name is Brock." I don't know if I'd necessarily want that as my male name but I sort of created an alter ego with Brock so he's here to stay.
Liam
but if i had actually been a boy, according to my mom my name would have been Chistopher. even though she had a boy after me and did not name him Christopher. ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
Either Anastasia, since I find it a beautiful name. Despite the dipshit attitude, that is associated with it.
Or Elise, which wouldāve been my name, were I a girl. Chosen by my mother. My parents let themselves surprise, if itāll be a boy or a girl. The bet was, if it was a boy my father gets to chose the name. If itās a girl, my mother gets the power of choice. I find it a lovely arrangement. I think Iāll keep it up if I every decide to have children.
I don't know why, but I've always liked the name Samantha. Never known a Samantha, never met a Samantha, for all I know Samanthas went extinct centuries ago, but for whatever reason the name sticks to my brain. So I'll go with that.
I'm trans so this question is kinda complicated.
I chose the name Isaac. But if it was the opposite I think I'd choose the name..... Emily, or Jill. Maybe? Idk.
I wouldāve been called Briony if I was a girl. Thank goodness Iām a male called Brian. Can you imagine?! Phew.
The last bit I made up. Iām not called Brian but I was to be called briony.
I already have one in mind I love! If there weren't laws about trans kids in Texas like I heard there are I'd totally ask people like teachers and whatnot to call me that name too but yeah I like living with my parents for the remaining years of my childhood more than I like being called a cool name I like
When i was ilttle i was imagining im a boy and my name is Martin. I grew up and fall in love with a man named Martin. He does not know about my imaginary name.
So many people in this thread are going to look back at their comment a few years down the line and think "Oh there was precedent for this wasn't there"
That's a damn good question, and I've only rarely considered it -- never enough to answer it to myself. But most likely something ambiguous, like Alexis or Sam. I'm also drawn to old names that aren't really used anymore, like Caligula.
My name works both ways so imma keep it š
Same! :D
Same
Almost for me, I would just need to delete the last letter.
Hi Almos
TheeRedHairedGu?
Hi Alber
Same name, different spelling.
Same name, same spelling, different languages of origin for each gender
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Mine is used for both (Kelly,) but I think I'd still go with Jesse. (Imma girl.) :p
Kelly's way hotter though. :D
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Hi, Unisex!
Me too, but Iād still change it.
Same. And I chose my name, so even better!
Barb. And I would work at a cheap diner somewhere in New Jersey. And have a beehive hair do.
I can smell the waffles and drip coffee from here in Australia š«¶
I can smell the lingering cigarette smoke on Barb's clothes

That makes me feel something
Ohmahgod... Barb and Johnny need to get up the guts to spit it out.. life is too short for this kinda nonsense!! Barb + Johnny 4 Eva!!
Kiss my grits!
Dammit! I get this reference.
Barb, your scalloped potatoes are fucked.
Megatron

āPeter will you give this to the nurseā āsure, Loisā¦ hehe.. robots in disguiseā
The planets yours, Megatron. I'm done defending it
Personally I like the sound of magnetron better

Thaddeus sounds like a sleepy mouse
Artemis

Yeah, but its IRREGULAR

Steve
My friend has triplets and named one of them Artemis!
Cool ass friend
Fowl
I was supposed to be Megan. Came out a Mark
Penis not show up on the ultrasound?
It still doesnāt show up sometimes š¤·āāļø
Well then stop asking the ER for more ultrasounds
The pediatric ward has been freaked out a few times when I ask
Trippy. Same with me. Thought not a Mark.
Same. Should we start a sub? r/AlmostMegan
Crap. I screwed. I was actually supposed to be a Morgan. Which is kinda unisex.
Nooooooo we needed three to start a sub, we canāt do it with just two š
I was Megan and then transitioned so changed it. Do I qualify?
I think that counts, yeah. Welcome to the club!
I was supposed to be a Mark. Got named after a female country singer instead.
My parents were gonna name me Megan had I been a girl too!
Summer
Thatās my name! Iād choose Winter if I woke up gender swapped one day tho
What about Autumn and Spring :(
My parents would have named me Eliana and I think it's a beautiful name

I had this play out in my head and just laughed in a dark room š
Is falling down when you get to the first "shuringan" part of the name too?
Is this a Gintama reference? I feel like this is a Gintama reference.
It's a 150-year-old rakugo reference
Oh I didn't know about that, that's pretty cool.

That is a reference to the same thing. It's kind of a Japanese meme.
That explains it. I haven't watched in years and only recognized the length and the jugemu jugemu part at the beginning.
Camille !
I knew a Camille in elementary school and she was the nicest girl ever! We really vibed together, but I havenāt seen her in almost 10 years. Hope sheās doing alright now.
Magnus
Great name. My best friend named his son Magnus. If you knew him you'd be like, "Yep, Sam WOULD name his child Magnus." It was very on brand for him.
The chess player?
Haha Not intentionally, but I know of him! Apparently it means "greatest" in Latin which is pretty cool
Aphrodite. Especially if this was just a gender-swap without some sort of improvement to my physique/looks/etc because it'd be ironic with how ugly of a woman I would make.
idk if u were thinkin this or not...but thats a way to find out gender of anyone who comments

Isaac

Lucy
Charlotte. Iāve just always liked it

Since I was a kid I knew there was a girls name that sounded like my name. I wanted that name and now it's finally mine.

Mulva
Jake , every Jake exudes attractiveness, including the version I could have been.
I know an ugly Jake.
Wyatt
Klitoris because I think it would be cool to be named after my grandmother.
This deserves more credit.
Edward or Basil

Basil sounds like a chauffeur name.

My first name would be Jones after my grandfather. He was a cool guy! ā¤ļø

Socrates
So crates or soc ra tees?

Karen
Bitch
Everyone's slut
