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.

Hmm I don't even know if my parents ever really discussed a boy name for either me or my sisters--I think they waited until they knew the sex of the baby before picking names.

Anyway, thanks to my dad saying oh hell no, I was NOT named Monica Veronica.

Man. I would've been one of those evil cheerleader girls in high school if that was my name.

And thanks to me and my sister K, we convinced our mom NOT to name our youngest sister Angelica--this was during the height of Rugrats on Nickelodeon and man, my sister Johnny would've gotten reamed with a name like that.

Dude, totally. They probably would have had some sort of ceremony for you.

Is your sister actually named Johnny because awesome or is that a nickname?

I would definitely make all my minions call me by full Evil Name as well. ah, the life that never was.

Actually my baby sister's name also starts with a K but I've been calling her Johnny since she was a wee kidlet. She has a relatively sane normal name with a little bit of creative spelling but she's never called by her full name, it's always shortened to the nickname.

Maybe the next time round, eh?
