NIPT is now standard care in the US. It is covered by insurance and offered to every pregnant person. I didn't say everyone gets it, just that it's increasingly used. Something like 25%-50% of people do it and it's growing in popularity. You haven't answered if that would take the creepiness out
Most names are definitely gendered. If they weren't, changing your name when transitioning wouldn't be so incredibly common. You might think they're unnecessarily gendered, but they are currently gendered. You also haven't answered if you're ok with expectant parents and parents of infants telling people the kid is a girl or a boy without the party.
