What was your name going to be if you were a boy?

I always think it is fun to know what your parents were thinkiing of in terms of names when your mom was pregnant.

My mother wanted to name me Sean but my dad's family flipped because my last name is so Italian. It didn't matter much because my father insisted that I would be a girl from day 1 and that my name be Michele.

I would have been John Charles, Jr., because my father always wanted his son to be named after him. It took my parents three tries to get a boy.

My parents had no boy name. In fact, my name is 'baby girl' on my original birth certificate! Since I was their 6th born, I guess they were tired of thinking...

BTW, 'Sean' is a beautiful name!!

When my younger brother was born and my dad called his father, the first thing grandpa said was 'Is it a Boy?' followed by 'Did you name him Harold?' (guess what grandpa's name was )

So since I was first, I guess I would have been Harold if I was a boy.

ugh...thank goodness I was a girl...

Earle Wesley III !!!

although if my older sister was a boy she would have been that too...


I did get my dad's initials though Erica Wendy (although my mom wanted Wilhelmina after my grandfather - since my sisters middle name is after my grandmothers)

My mom was so confident she was having a girl, they didn't even pick a boys name.

I was the 3rd and I have 2 older brothers, so my parents were sure I was a girl, so the thought of another boys name didn't cross their mind at teh time.

My parents did not have a boy name picked. In fact, I was born SO EARLY, that they hadn't even picked a girl's name yet.
