What was your "almost" name?

Between me and my sibling, my parents considered [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Grace[/name_f], Emma-Kate, [name_u]John[/name_u], [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u], and [name_f]Abigail[/name_f], I believe!

[name_u]Indie[/name_u]! Yes, I could have been an [name_u]Indie[/name_u]! Also [name_u]Cleo[/name_u], [name_f]Amber[/name_f] & [name_f]Doris[/name_f]!

Also, my little sister was almost named [name_f]Suki[/name_f] which I think is super cool! We called our ā€˜elf on the shelf’ [name_f]Suki[/name_f] instead though :joy:

If I was a boy, top choice was [name_m]Christos[/name_m] which is now my brothers name. [name_f]My[/name_f] name is [name_f]Vasiliki[/name_f] and they also considered [name_u]Maria[/name_u].

Are you Greek? That is like 90% of my family’s names and people at the Orthodox [name_m]Church[/name_m]. Sorry I just thought it was a funny coincidence​:joy::joy: [name_u]Maria[/name_u] is also one of my favourites for a girl

Hahaha yes [name_m]Iam[/name_m] Greek. [name_f]Pretty[/name_f] much these are the standard names every Greek family have.

my parents decided on my name really early on, but if i was a boy i likely would’ve been grady (which weirdly i knew one in elementary school, my parents (mostly my dad) were big on more uncommon names so i wouldn’t be an isabella m or oliver m or something like that, and i was in the same class as this kid at least once, maybe twice.)

I was [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] from very early on! But others that were considered were [name_u]Zoe[/name_u], [name_f]Honey[/name_f], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], and [name_f]Louisa[/name_f].
[name_u]Asa[/name_u] was going to be name name if I’d been a boy!

[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] (full name) and I know [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f] were thrown around as possibilities. [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] is my middle (love it), not keen on my first - like it on others but still surprised (decades later) when people say it that they mean me. :grimacing::tired_face::joy:
