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.

Is there a story behind Sammy?

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".
