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 was going to be Christopher Lloyd if I was a boy.
My mom wanted to name be Bronwyn but my grandma talked her out of it. There were a few other names, but I don't remember. I wish it had been something more creative than Brittanie, but she swears she didn't know any Brittanies when I was born. 1985 is apparently the year of the Brittanie/Britney/Brittany etc. though. There was even a girl with my exact name in 6th grade, just spelt differently.

Oh, Brownwyn's pretty.

Were you friends with the girl who had the exact same name as you or did you shun her?

Yeah, but grandmum threatened to call me Brawny and that's no good.

She was one of the popular kids and I, alas, was not. We just didn't talk.
