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?

Can’t say I’ve ever thought about it as a cis male. It’s pretty easy to come up with the best sounding derivative though. If you feel that this may be an important choice for you it may benefit you to explore further and perhaps talk to a therapist who has helped others with dysphoria.
It may also help to add that I’ve gone through phases of not liking my name. It’s not a “normal” name and people very often mishear it as something else. Through this I’ve only ever considered other cis male centric names, also derivatives of my actual name.
