If I was a boy, I wouldāve been [name]Wesley[/name] [name]Eugene[/name]. I actually like [name]Wesley[/name] a lot So I wouldnāt 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 wouldnāt 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 donāt think I wouldāve survived elementary school if my name was [name]Ava[/name]! I wouldāve been ā[name]Ava[/name] H.ā the whoooole time.
So, in a way, Iām 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].
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].
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 wouldāve 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 āThe [name]Little[/name] Mermaidā, but was born the year BEFORE that movie came out. Itās a nice name, but I never would have lived that downā¦
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. My middle name would have been [name]Maree[/name], but I strongly prefer [name]Lee[/name], anyway.
[name]Lee[/name] and [name]Maree[/name] are my mumās best friendās names BTW.
If Iād been a boy, I wouldāve been [name]David[/name], which is my brotherās name now. Itās been passed down for 6 generations in our familyā¦
Other girlās names my mother considered were: [name]Ariel[/name], [name]Jocelyn[/name] and [name]Grace[/name]/[name]Gracie[/name]. Iām glad Iām 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 80ās, 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 didnāt like the nn Vicki
[name]Jessica[/name] BUT they didnāt like the boyish nn Jess or Jessie
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 donāt 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.
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 BrettWilliam
But lo and behold, Iām 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 AbigailRenee
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 dadās 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].
