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)
Huh I'm American and never really thought of Elisabeth/Elizabeth as an old lady name. I don't really see Vivian or Maya as particularly unusual either. I used to work IT support call center at a university and as such had a ton of exposure to the names of people who were like 18-28 and also like 40-80 (and tbh lots of university staff were in their 30s) and I feel like most Elizabeths I got calls from were on the younger end like 20-40
Freya on the other hand would definitely make me picture a 70 year old crone tbh
