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.

Charlene, Fiona, Karenza, Tamzin or Giselle

My mum really wanted Karenza Giselle, or if I was a boy it would have been Kiran Gregory. But mum really didn't like the fact that my initials would have been KGB.

Instead I was named Selena Jane Dorothy (middle names are from my Grandmothers)

Do you think you would've shortened your name to Karen if you'd been Karenza?

I don't know, I do like the name Karen so I probably would have at some point.
