Congratulations! You’ve just had an intersex baby! What is their name?

this is an interesting question timing wise for me since i’m reading a book where the main character is a girl who just found out she is intersex and presents and identifies as female

For me I would probably use [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] [name_u]Briar[/name_u] - as for pronouns I would probably use they/them until they expressed a desire for their preferred pronouns

I’d go with [name_f]Peridot[/name_f] [name_u]Meridian[/name_u]. As pronouns I’d use they/them (or the equivalent of that in my own language).

These are all so cute! :grin: Especially like [name_u]Nico[/name_u] [name_u]Sage[/name_u] & [name_u]Riley[/name_u] [name_u]Emerson[/name_u]!

I’d go with [name_u]Bo[/name_u] [name_u]Auguste[/name_u] ([name_u]Auguste[/name_u] is masculine in [name_u]French[/name_u] and feminine in [name_m]German[/name_m]) and would probably use their name instead of a pronoun in [name_m]German[/name_m] & Spanish > “[name_u]Bo[/name_u] needs to stay home today as [name_u]Bo[/name_u] has a cold” but use “they” in [name_f]English[/name_f].

I like that idea for you. :slight_smile:

Changing ones name isn’t as simple in many European countries (for example in [name_u]Germany[/name_u] you can’t change your own or your child’s name at all - only if a judge determines that the name is or has become too difficult to live with, like [name_f]Lolita[/name_f] or [name_f]Isis[/name_f] or after having transitioned).
I do believe there may be special rules for cases like these but even then it’s likely you only get to change it once. There aren’t many unisex names in [name_m]German[/name_m], Spanish or [name_u]French[/name_u] but just using [name_f]English[/name_f] names wouldn’t be my style at all.

Interesting!

Are you both Spanish & [name_m]German[/name_m]?

Yes, but it’s mostly my extended family that speaks Spanish, however, I am in Spain a lot so I would want any names I choose to work in [name_m]German[/name_m], [name_f]English[/name_f] and Spanish.

I would probably do [name_u]Sasha[/name_u] [name_u]Robin[/name_u] or [name_u]Sasha[/name_u] [name_u]Emerson[/name_u] and use they/them until they choose how they identify

I’d use they/them for them until they were old enough to have a sense of gender and tell me what they prefer - usually, that develops around age five. If they decide to stick with they/them, that’s awesome. If not, that’s fine too. :))

I would name them [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] or [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Salem[/name_u] :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Hmm, that’s tough!! I don’t have very many unisex names— most lean feminine or masculine for me. [name_u]Sasha[/name_u], [name_u]Valentine[/name_u], [name_u]River[/name_u], [name_u]Robin[/name_u], [name_u]Lennon[/name_u], [name_u]Avery[/name_u], and [name_u]Jude[/name_u] do come to mind, though.

Robin [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] [name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] [name_u]Sasha[/name_u], [name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] [name_f]Joy[/name_f]
[name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_u]Sasha[/name_u], [name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_u]Lennon[/name_u]
[name_u]River[/name_u] [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_u]Lennon[/name_u], [name_u]River[/name_u] [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_u]River[/name_u] [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_u]Sasha[/name_u]

I can’t pick between [name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_u]Sasha[/name_u] and [name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_u]Lennon[/name_u] :joy:

I also love the idea of [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] or [name_u]Hollis[/name_u] and love that y’all are using [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] as a middle :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: I kinda wonder if Ira or Asa could work it if they’re too masculine ?

I would use they/them unless they decide otherwise
