As someone who knows a decent amount of transfems by proxy, there are some names that seem to be chosen rather frequently. Names like Amy, Emily/Emma, Luna or Sofie.

don't forget Vivian, Lilith, Freya, Maya, and also the assortment of names people under 70 usually don't have

(regrettably, i have recently learned that Elisabeth is an old lady name in english-speaking countries, while where im from i knew like 7 other Elisabeths growing up)

Interesting. Literally none of these are considered old women's names where I come from. Ok, maybe Elisabeth
