What were your names suppose to be?

If I was a boy, [name]Andrew[/name], and if I was a girl-(Its a long list)

[name]Emma[/name]
[name]Emily[/name]
[name]Bridget[/name]
[name]Sydney[/name]
[name]Sarah[/name]
[name]Chloe[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name]

[name]Abigail[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]:slight_smile:

If I was a boy, I would’ve been [name]Wesley[/name] [name]Eugene[/name]. I actually like [name]Wesley[/name] a lot :slight_smile: So I wouldn’t have minded having that name, even with [name]Eugene[/name] (family name) in the middle spot. Also, for girl names my parents were considering [name]Ava[/name], [name]Oma[/name] or [name]Bette[/name] ([name]Bette[/name] is a family name, pr. like [name]Bette[/name] [name]Davis[/name]). I wouldn’t mind being [name]Oma[/name] but it sounds very Italian and my family is not even slightly Italian. I was literally almost [name]Ava[/name]. Oh my gosh, I don’t think I would’ve survived elementary school if my name was [name]Ava[/name]! I would’ve been ā€œ[name]Ava[/name] H.ā€ the whoooole time.
So, in a way, I’m glad to be [name]Eva[/name].

My mum had apparantly had my name picked out from when she was a teenager, so because I only have older brothers, my name is [name]Briallen[/name] Aerona nn [name]Bree[/name] and my twin sister is [name]Cerys[/name] [name]Arianwen[/name]. If we had been boys we would have been [name]Gareth[/name] (ironic since this is my husband name) and [name]Bevan[/name].

[name]Bree[/name]

I was almost [name]Kaylee[/name] [name]Michelle[/name]. I am [name]Patricia[/name] [name]Ann[/name] instead.

If I were a boy I would have been [name]Patrick[/name] [name]Joseph[/name].

My dad wanted to name me [name]Kimberly[/name], but my mom wanted [name]Stephanie[/name] or [name]Anna[/name] [name]Marie[/name]. Somewhere along the way, they decided on [name]Samantha[/name].

If I had been a boy they were going to name me [name]Obadiah[/name] and call me [name]Obie[/name]. :slight_smile:

My mom always wanted [name]Alexandra[/name] [name]Marie[/name], but then my grandmother died and she used her name. If I was a boy I would’ve been [name]Glenn[/name] [name]Edward[/name].

I was originally supposed to be named Vesna [name]Adriana[/name], but then when I was born my parents decided I looked like a [name]Katarina[/name] Vesna, so they named me that instead. My younger sister is named [name]Adriana[/name] [name]Paula[/name] [name]Jasmina[/name].
If I was born a boy I would have been named [name]Anton[/name].

Had I been a boy I was probably going to be [name]George[/name] [name]Drew[/name].

My dad wanted to name me [name]Nancy[/name] [name]Lucille[/name] after my grandmothers, which Mom vetoed. [name]Ariel[/name] was apparently my 2nd-runner up name, but I really dodged a bullet there. I have long red hair like [name]Ariel[/name] in ā€œThe [name]Little[/name] Mermaidā€, but was born the year BEFORE that movie came out. It’s a nice name, but I never would have lived that down…

If I was a boy, I could have been a [name]Daniel[/name].

If I was a girl, I would have been [name]Jade[/name], which I hate. [name]Jade[/name] [name]Lee[/name] or [name]Maree[/name] sounds dreadfully stripperish. :stuck_out_tongue: My middle name would have been [name]Maree[/name], but I strongly prefer [name]Lee[/name], anyway. :slight_smile:

[name]Lee[/name] and [name]Maree[/name] are my mum’s best friend’s names BTW.

~[name]Jasmine[/name]

If I’d been a boy, I would’ve been [name]David[/name], which is my brother’s name now. It’s been passed down for 6 generations in our family…
Other girl’s names my mother considered were: [name]Ariel[/name], [name]Jocelyn[/name] and [name]Grace[/name]/[name]Gracie[/name]. I’m glad I’m not [name]Ariel[/name], because when I grow my hair out everyone tells me I look like the [name]Little[/name] Mermaid! I do love [name]Jocelyn[/name] and [name]Grace[/name] though, but unfortunately I was stuck with boring old [name]Jessica[/name] [name]Lynn[/name]. I usually shorten it to [name]Jess[/name] because I really dislike my name… [name]Jessie[/name] is even worse though!

My mom had always wanted to name a daughter [name]Sabrina[/name] [name]Marie[/name](yep thats me), and had no other girl names picked out. If I would have been a boy my name would have been [name]Michael[/name] [name]Christoper[/name]. My dad wanted to name me [name]Shauntae[/name] [name]Nicole[/name]. No offense but thankfully mom won out. I love my name!
My brother([name]John[/name]), would have been [name]Jessica[/name] [name]Malaya[/name].

In the early 80’s, I was almost:
[name]Amber[/name] BUT there was a popular book out at the time with a mean girl named Amber and they didnt want the association.
[name]Victoria[/name] BUT they didn’t like the nn Vicki
[name]Jessica[/name] BUT they didn’t like the boyish nn Jess or Jessie

so Amanda was born. I’m very happy with it.

My mom wanted to name me [name]Rainey[/name] my dad said NO. I was born and named [name]Aubrey[/name] for the first hour then my mom decided I was absolutely an [name]Emily[/name] [name]Suzanne[/name]… and I love it!

I was only [name]Alix[/name] [name]Louise[/name] only name my mom had for me if I was a boy I would have been [name]Keith[/name] [name]Robert[/name] after both grandfathers. My sister was the same only name was [name]Anna[/name] [name]Lillian[/name] and would have been [name]Keith[/name] [name]Robert[/name] if a boy

I don’t know about any boy names, but I was almost named [name]Rhea[/name] [name]Marie[/name]. My maiden name started with an R and had the same sound in the beginning as [name]Rhea[/name] so it would not have sounded good.

My best friend is [name]Madison[/name] [name]Quinn[/name] (female).

If I had been a boy, my mom was going to name me [name]Thomas[/name], [after her brother] as a first name and for the middle name [name]Eric[/name], after my father.

Other girl names my mom was considering: [name]Erica[/name], [name]Samantha[/name], [name]Caroline[/name], [name]Susanna[/name]. Ironically I later did legally change my name to [name]Samantha[/name] because I liked it much better.

They thought I was a boy for the longest time, so they were planning on naming me Brett William

But lo and behold, I’m a girl. [name]Just[/name] like Mom always wanted. She never had any alternative names for that. She always said that my name was to be Abigail Renee

In utero, my parents referred to me as [name]Dolores[/name]
But my dad liked [name]Melinda[/name]
My mom liked [name]Sierra[/name] and [name]Tilly[/name]

I would have been [name]Jackson[/name] [name]Thor[/name] if I had been a boy (both of my grandfathers are [name]Jack[/name] and my dad’s middle name is [name]Thor[/name])

My parents knew from getgo that they were going to name me [name]Gwendolyn[/name]. My MN was going to be [name]Cassidy[/name] but my twin sister, who was going to be named [name]Rose[/name] [name]Clare[/name], was a stillborn. So they changed my MN last minute to [name]Rose[/name].
