[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! I’m super curious what your almost-names were. [name_u]Or[/name_u] maybe the almost-name of a child.
If I was a boy, I would’ve been [name_u]Hazen[/name_u] [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] or [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] [name_m]Peter[/name_m], but I know my mom also loved [name_u]Allison[/name_u] & would’ve used it if she had the chance!
Other names my parents considered for me were [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], [name_f]Grace[/name_f], and [name_f]Audrey[/name_f]! They had a pretty defined style of classic, well-known names.
I would’ve enjoyed being a [name_f]Prudence[/name_f] “Prue” (the derogatory jokes wouldn’t have bothered me because I was always made fun of for having a shy, introverted, cautious, keep-to-myself and try not to get wrapped up in trouble or boys attitude.) I actually think it would’ve very much suited my personality (well at least parts of it ha!)
I was almost an [name_f]Arianne[/name_f], a [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] or a [name_u]Camille[/name_u]. [name_f]My[/name_f] parents had no inspiration for boys’ names
When I was pregnant with my son, one of the potential names was [name_u]Tristan[/name_u]. Both my parents loved it very much.
I was almost [name_f]Alexandria[/name_f] or Jennifer… I think I would’ve liked [name_f]Alexandria[/name_f] best, although would have hated being an Alex… which I probably would’ve been though my parents insisted I could’ve been Lexi… I would’ve angled for Alla/Allie/Annie or even [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f], but that would’ve been a bit crazy in the late 80s lol.
If I were a boy, I would’ve been [name_u]Charlie[/name_u], [name_u]Levi[/name_u], or [name_m]Andrew[/name_m], I think (or maybe Matthew/Michael)–much more interesting options I think!
Forgot to say if my 2nd was a girl I was convinced I was going to use [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] or [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] at the time!
[name_u]Madison[/name_u] or [name_u]Taylor[/name_u]! [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] [name_u]Jordan[/name_u], to be specific, so I’d have the same initials as my grandpa. Verrrrrry s names, that’s for sure! They decided against [name_u]Madison[/name_u] because I just didn’t look like one and they decided against [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] because it was too popular.
If I’d been a boy, [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] “Alec”
I was going to be [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_f]Theresa[/name_f] and be called KT but my parents decided against it (which was good news for me in the long run, cause way too many [name_f]Katie[/name_f], [name_f]Kate[/name_f], and Caty’s my year)
If I was a boy I would have been [name_u]Scott[/name_u]
[name_f]My[/name_f] mom said she also wanted my brother’s nickname to be [name_m]Chip[/name_m] (he’s a third, so it would differentiate him) and then she wanted to call me [name_u]Dale[/name_u], but my dad vetoed [name_m]Chip[/name_m] so she let go of [name_u]Dale[/name_u]
i just made a thread w/ this exact same topic last week. not trying to be rude or accusing you of copying- you can for sure keep it up- just wondering if you saw my thread/took inspiration from it? i’m not saying im the first to have this question, just wondering if you were aware
no need to apologize! i was just wondering if you knew- great minds think alike, i guess! you can for sure leave this thread up, i really am not offended
