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.

Dang. A letter that rhymes with E?

If you'd been born years ago George would've been a fine name but in this day and age? Yeah, not so much. I'm glad you're a girl. :p

Olivia's a pretty name. *nods*

Erm, what is your name? Is it Malcolm? *is slow*

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Wilbur, eh? Makes me think of Charlotte's Web, it does.

Are you happy with the name you have now or do you think you'd like to have been Kari Elizabeth?

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Daniel Richard has a nice flow to it.

[popmusicjunkie.livejournal.com]

I like the name I have now. It suites me. I think.

Cordelia: I like the name David. It's a strong, masculine name.

I would have felt sorry for myself my whole life

Hahaha. *ahem*

I think the only problem with a name like Jericho is that a lot of people might shorten it to Jerry and then I'd have to stab people. *nods*

Hah. I like the name Levi. *nods*

Who's your dad's favourite pop singer?

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Heh. I dunno, I kind of like the name.

Don't get me wrong, being named after Tess D'urberville would have been akin to my literary heart, but I am no Tessa, I assure you.

if i was a boy, they were gonna name me jessy. my nana hated it but it didn't matter anyway because i was obviously a girl.

[storydivagirl.livejournal.com]

I could've been Jennifer, which is just bizarre to me, especially since my mother went to the other extreme of common to something not a lot of people have.

If I was a boy she said she liked, "Marvin". Eek. Thank God I wasn't born a boy or I would never get laid...EVER.

Ahahaha. Unless of course your nickname was Mouth and then you'd have hot girls flirting with you all the time and eventually you'd end up sleeping with your boss.

What is your name?

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Jessy's not a bad name, though I'm not sure I like the 'y' spelling.

[getyourguns.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but grandmum threatened to call me Brawny and that's no good.

She was one of the popular kids and I, alas, was not. We just didn't talk.

[santacarlagypsy.livejournal.com]

That is so weird! My name is Laura, too. And I also was almost named Jessica.... : )

[notthebigspoon.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I got a lot of flak in elementary school about it.

[santacarlagypsy.livejournal.com]

My mom says that she always knew from the very beginning that I was going to be a girl so she never thought about what she and my dad would name me if I had been born a boy.

I was almost named Jessica, though. But then they chose Laura. (Which I saw in another comment in this post almost happened to someone else. Which is a bit strange....)

Melanie Safka - and dear lord, she has a MySpace!

I would have been Nicolas and my almost name was Johannah
both not very attractive names in my opinion

[laurondo.livejournal.com]

Haha, really? I was almost named Jessica 'cause my sister wanted it for my name. Apparently she begged my parents to name me it, but of course they never did.

[britomart-is.livejournal.com]

I would have been James if I were a boy. Other considerations for me as a girl: Grace, Edith, Ruth, Elliot.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

It really sort of is strange. I like it.
