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 planned on naming me Peter because they thought for a long time that I was a boy. This was back when ultrasound were around, but were only used for high-risk pregnancies, so my mom never had one done on me.

When she went into labor with me, though, she just knew all of a sudden that I was a girl, and my first and middle names just came to her.

An alternate girl name was Nadia Therese, which I used to think (when I was younger) would be awful, but now I'm warming up to it.

That's kind of neat that they just came to her. *nods*

Nadia's a pretty name.
