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.

My parents thought I was a boy like up until I was here. I kept my back to the ultra sound and they got a crazy tech at some point who went 'Boy.' My mom likes to say I was a little shit before I was even born. =D

So I was going to be Samuel Douglas. I was almost Sam! It was that or Jacob. Hee. I was almost Jake too. Nice one parental units.

They had no girl names picked out so I got stuck with Ashliegh. Which while spelled wrongdifferent is still the most common name ever for my generation. There were 15 in my graduating class. *headdesk*

I love the name Samuel (even long before Supernatural) and Jacob's a good name too. *nods*

Holy crap, was it a large graduating class?

I would've loved being Samantha even. I coulda gone by Sam and been much happier. *was a little tomboy* I named my son Jacob.

There were 150 of us. Big enough for where I grew up.
