almost your name

[certainthings]

Do you know what your name would have been had you been born the opposite sex? Mine was going to be Christopher Michael.

What about what you were almost named? I was almost Crystal. I'm really glad my mom changed her mind on that one. And then at one point she was going to name me Jericho (as a girl) ... at least I'm fairly sure it was that name. That might've been kinda cool.

Awesome question. And Jericho= quite cool, but imagine all the "walls tumbling down" jokes you would have had..

If I was a boy I was going to be Alexander (yes, after the Great). My Dad's a Classics man.
I was almost... Meredith. Which was of course well before Grey's Anatomy but I have to say (with no disrespect for the Merediths out there...) the Meredith in Grey's is exactly the whiny prim pain-in-the-ass I would expect from that name.

It's not that common here either which is part of why I like it.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

What are common names over yonder?

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

The "walls tumbling down" reference is lost on me. :/

Eee, yeah. Meredith ... is well, it's a bit of a fuddy-duddy name. *nods*

Interesting. I was going to be 'James Galbraith' if a boy (if the letter to grandfather is anything to go by.) But they were pretty set on 'Julie-anne' for girl me I hear.

I know right. It's no wonder I ended up with sisters and brothers called things like Mandra, Mieko, Donielle, and Nikko lol.

Most of my friends just call me Lexi.

We used to tease him by singing that when we were little lol

My middle name is May :)

It's from one of Dad's old army buddies that's passed on - I have no idea why he nicknamed me that (I still have no clue and wish I had known I do think Dad knows but won't say I think it has to do with one of them I never met that they were in the army with) and Dad says it sometimes plus he works with a "Sam" but the army friends wife (and all the other wives everytime I see 'em every 4 years) call me "Jen Jen" or "Jenny".

HEE. That's right. And yeah, me too. ;)

My mom can't remember the name she had picked out for me if I were a boy, but she almost named me Michelle.

Hey! sorry for spamming your flist with Ditte up there ^^

[bigmamag.livejournal.com]

My dad wanted my name to be Eric Zachary...then I could be EZ ___insert last name____

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

After Hood?

[nyaubaby.livejournal.com]

If I would have been a boy mine would be Zoltán. I think. I'm really not fond of that name so I'm quite happy turning out to be a chick with a name: Zsuzsanna. :D

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Does Galbraith have a meaning behind it?

Re: sorrry michelle!

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

No worries.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I hope your last name starts with an E.

[barkinmad.livejournal.com]

If I had been a boy, my name would have been Matt, which, while it's a nice name, I don't think I would have liked much..

[skadi.livejournal.com]

I was going to be Jared or Josh if I was a boy. The other girl possibility was Tara.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I like your name.
