ive only known guys name courtney lol. but i couldnt keep my name, i mean i have an obviously female name which sucks but yea, gender-ambigious names rock.

@ThisWorldAintYours cool. ive only met a few guys with my name. it helps that i spell mine with a K tho

Yeah I did not have a gender neutral name however my father has called me Samuel as far back as we both can remember so it was an easy choice for me :D

@itsGOTtobegroovy thanks! I've been wearing it for a while now and seeing where it takes me.

@itsGOTtobegroovy I don't think I would've kept my name if the circumstances were different and I don't think I have the confidence either to rock a supposedly "girl" name-that would fuck with me for sure.

The only Courtney's I've known have been male!

The high top fade than shit.

I really wanted to keep my birth name. I really identified with it and felt it was the perfect name for me. But it wasn't gender neutral and I didn't have the confidence to rock a female name, though I often thought about it.

If your name wasn't gender neutral, do you think you would have kept it?
