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.

I think Michelle definitely suits better than Crystal. No offense to any Crystal's in the room, of course.

If I'd been a boy my name was going to be Marcus Jamal. Thank God for being born with girl parts.

I was almost Raquel Maria, but my daddy jumped in w/ Vanessa Lee (so country fried Southern I could cry some days. I'm glad my momma nicknamed me Vinnie).

Raquel Maria's a pretty name but Vinnie's a cooler nickname.
