Say if someone came up to you and asked “If you were a boy/girl what would your name be?” could you answer them without needing think or is that not something most people give a thought to?

    Yes, I could.

    My name is part of my identity. My gender, too. So if this were different, then I would not be I. It makes no sense to think about “my” name then, because it would be the name of somebody else then.
