[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone,
I thought it might be fun to start a thread with all of the names that didn’t quite make the cut, like for example, what you were going to be called but weren’t or names you were going to call your children but didn’t.
To start, my name is [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] but I was going to be a [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]. (My mum knew I was going to be a girl)
My name up until I was born was [name_f]Jasmyn[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. My mum and dad were pretty sold on it but when I came out they thought I didn’t look anything like a [name_f]Jasmyn[/name_f], so they changed it to [name_f]Eryn[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (my mum loved [name_f]Erin[/name_f] from The Waltons). If I was a boy I would’ve been [name_u]Jordan[/name_u].
I was going to be [name_f]Gillian[/name_f] if my mom had her way when naming me however my dads choice won. If I had been a boy it would have been [name_m]Henry[/name_m].
For my own children:
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] was going to be [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] or [name_u]Cameron[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_u]Mars[/name_u]
(If girl she would have been [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Annetta[/name_f] or [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Annetta[/name_f], to honour DH grandmother named [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] [name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Annetta[/name_f])
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] was going to be that or [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]
(If boy [name_m]Simon[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] or [name_m]Philip[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], with likely [name_u]Mars[/name_u] as a second middle)
