Three questions for your ladies cause I got started thinkign about names and what they mean and how our identities are in our names.
1.) What names if any, were your parents considering besides the one they gave you?
2.) If you could have been named anything else, what would it be?
3.) What names would you like for your kids if you plan to have them?
1. I was almost a Krystal Marie (God help me! My mom was into romance novels back then.) Lourdes Milagros lmao (my dad's mom liked that) My aunt named me Jennifer Joyce-said it sounded like a movie star name.
2. I like strong sounding but feminine names and ones that end in A lol. I am weird I know! Katherine, Arianna, Katerina, Gabriella
3. girl: Aurelia Elizabeth , Katherine Alexandra, Gabriella Marie or Isabella Grace boy: Nicholas, Gabriel or Alexander

1.) What names if any, were your parents considering besides the one they gave you? Ready for this one? DESTINY! Not to offend anyone, but I feel like if I had been named that, I would have been destined to be a stripper.
2.) If you could have been named anything else, what would it be? Honestly, nothing. I like my name.
3.) What names would you like for your kids if you plan to have them? Sophia Ashley Hunter Jameson Alyssa Nicole Carmine Joseph

Re: spinoff::Names
If I was a boy I was going to be Jeffrey. My parents didn't find out my gender until I was born so while my mom was pg they called me 'Elmo' to scare my grandma into thinking that's really what they were going to name me. My parents are goofy

Thats how I feel about Krystal (with a K) Marie. She also liked Stacey Ann...
Im just like MOM!
Sophia is pretty. Another A ending name! Hunter Jameson is a very strong masculine name. I like it.

Re: spinoff::Names
1)I probably would have been Walter, after my dad. (Which is my brother's first name but we call him Ben (middle name)
I'm named after Princess Caroline and Caroline Kennedy...
2) I love my name... but I would like to have a french or russian name...
3)My son's name is Aidan Walter and I named him Aidan before the name gt HUGELY popular... He would have been Maggie or Ameila (Millie) - Soleil if he lacked a penis
My next son will be Gavin something... not sure of a middle name.
and if we ever have a daughter (GOD HELP US)
I like Milla (mee-la) and Anais (shortened to Ana) middle name will be Patricia after DH's mother

Re: spinoff::Names
1. My mom was totally convinced she was having a boy, so she was all ready to name me Thomas!! but since I was a instead.....I became Helen Marcy. My dad wanted to name me Helen after his sister, and my mom loved the name Marcy......but all these years later she still complains she would've rather name me Marcy Christina! So guess what, all these years she's ALWAYS called me Marcy.......it's confused quite a few people lol. talk about stubborn, her & my dad couldn't agree on it, so she called me what she wanted to anyway! at least my grandma was cute, she always called me Helen Marcy so as not to piss off either of my parents lol
2. I LOVE my first name, I actually prefer it over Marcy, so I'm glad my dad won that argument! I like that's its an older name that you don't see as much anymore. When I was a kid I didn't like it as much though, I always got the unavoidable 'Helen Keller' nickname when that story came up in elementary school lol
3. If we have a boy, it's definitely going to be a junior, there's no fighting DH on this one......it will be Michael Patrick.
If it's a girl, it would be Sofia Evelyn (Sofia was my grandma, Evelyn was his).

Re: spinoff::Names
1.) What names if any, were your parents considering besides the one they gave you? If I were a boy, my name would've been Thomas. I don't think any other girl names were considered.
2.) If you could have been named anything else, what would it be? Honestly, I don't know. I think I would feel weird with any name other than my own.
3.) What names would you like for your kids if you plan to have them? Our daughter's name is Kayleigh Ann. I never even thought of that name before we chose it, but I love the name Kayleigh. If we ever have another girl, I really want to name her Isabella Rose. My favorite name for a boy is Adam, but since that's DHs name, I won't use it for our children. I also like Benjamin, Jacob, & Jeremy.

Re: spinoff::Names
1.) What names if any, were your parents considering besides the one they gave you? Amy or Heather
2.) If you could have been named anything else, what would it be? I like my name it works for both an adult and a child other than that maybe Tanda Wanda or Oprah.
3.) What names would you like for your kids if you plan to have them? Ronan Diarmuid I love the name Kelly for a boy but I think life is hard enough without having a girly name.
I can never think of girl names I like even when i was younger and had dolls I pretended all my sons had long hair and gave them boy names.
