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 don't know what I would've been named if I were a boy, but I was almost named Jessica, I think.

Ohhh I like this post. I like those names but I think I like Michelle better! :)

If I was a boy I would've been named Nico

I almost got named Marjan coz my grandparents names were Margje & Jan.....

If I were a boy, I would have been called Johnny Keith after my grandfather and father.

I was almost called Stephanie Elizabeth. And yeah. Put with my last name, that would have been one hellaciously long name.

I have no idea what my name would've been if I was a boy. I should bug someone, and find out.

Clementine. My father at one point wanted to name me, Clementine. Yeah.

I like that name.

If I had been a boy I would have been called James.

Apparently my parents always liked Lisa for a girl and they never wavered.

My Mom was convinced I was gonna be a guy and was planning to name my Rusty James. Seriously.

My grandma, her mom, was sure I was gonna be a girl and wanted MOm to name me "Star" or "April."

Nico's a nice name. Hmm, I think I like Annemiek more than Marjan but then it would've been kind of neat to be named after your grandparents.

I think your name fits you ;)

Don't know about if I was named a boy but I've been told several times I was almost named Emerald Ann.

Although, Mom does get myself and my Step-sis/Aunt mixed up and sometimes (alot really) I'll answer to Charlotte (her name) so I think based on that I could've been the 3rd Charlotte in my family.

I like your boy name. My Grandpa's name is John and I have an uncle Keith. :)

What is your middle name now or do you not have one?

My parents claim they can't remember how I would have been called if I were a boy. Boo! :(

My parents thought I was a boy like up until I was here. I kept my back to the ultra sound and they got a crazy tech at some point who went 'Boy.' My mom likes to say I was a little shit before I was even born. =D

So I was going to be Samuel Douglas. I was almost Sam! It was that or Jacob. Hee. I was almost Jake too. Nice one parental units.

They had no girl names picked out so I got stuck with Ashliegh. Which while spelled wrongdifferent is still the most common name ever for my generation. There were 15 in my graduating class. *headdesk*

After, 'Oh my darling, Clementine ...' ?

[earlofcardigans.livejournal.com]

My grandfather's name was John Howard and my dad's name is Howard Keith.

Since my parents had no boys, my sister picked up that tradition and called her son Keith Warren.

My middle name is Renee.

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).

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Ahh.

[jeyhawk.livejournal.com]

Indeed I know. I would have been Jens.

[depply-in-luv.livejournal.com]

They liked Blake for a boy. And they were going to call me Amy or Katherine, but they decided on Ida after my grandmother. Thank God, I'm glad I have a unique name.

[goingvogue.livejournal.com]

Well my dad wanted to name me George, whether I was a boy or girl, and my mom almost named me Bailey or Ashley.

[lalita82.livejournal.com]

Wow, that interesting.

I would have been a boy named after my dad's name Victor Maunel but I was a girl so I got Vanessa Michelle.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

James is a good name.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Rusty, eh? *snorts*

April would've been nice but ... Star? Eeesh.

[laurondo.livejournal.com]

I do too. I'm kinda-sorta glad they stuck with the not-so-common name though (which is Laura, in case you didn't know, lol).

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Oh, I like the name Camden.

Huh, I do like the name Emma but Lisa seems better suited for you, though I'm not sure why.
