:twisted: Most people have names in mind when they are expecting a child, and it's normal to have a girls name and a boys name ready to suit the gender of the child.
Do you know what your name would have been if you'd been born the oposite sex?
If I was born a girl, my name was going to be..............
Bernadette :lmao:
Let's hear yours :mrgreen:

I was destined to be Alan if the stars had aligned. But my brother came after me, so he scored the name instead.

My name would have been David. :shock:
If I'd have been a boy my Grandma was insistant that I be called William, though my Mum was so convinced that she was having a girl she chose Lucy Elizabeth and stuck to it, didn't even consider names for a boy - bloody good job she got it right!!!
My Padre wanted to call me Milo, I think it threw him for six when I was a girl so he didn't have an name for me so my mum gave me my great grandmas name...

My first nephew is called Joshua!:D He's 11 years old and taller than me!:shock:
Mam wanted to call me Angelica (I was born before the Rugrats, if you're wondering!), but Dad wanted a daughter called Catherine, even though he already had a wife called Catherine (causes quite a few problems:roll: ), so one of my two older brothers would have been Catherine if they were girls. Eldest brother is Neil, then Adrian.
Neil seems rather popular, doesn't it?! Potential and real Neils!:lol:
Joseph I think...

Couldn't edit the post so have to add...
For the first 6 weeks I was Marina...then my father won and I became Zinaida...and who can pronounce THAT??? :shock:
Chopped my name down to Zina and it still gets misspelled...
And since I don't like either of my names...let's call me...oh I don't know...
Madonna???

OK (does that make you msemm now?:)))
dont know my if-I-were-a-girl-name right now, just know that my parents had an arguement, because my mother wanted to call me Karl or something like that. Now believe me or not, my real name they found when they visited a circus with that name! But as itīs too complicated, I usually abbreviate it.

Id be someone else :twisted:
Think I was gonna be John...
Thinking about it, if my boys had been girls, i would have had..
Brogan, Azariah, Kyrennah and Teague
I was going to be David Michael.
My own kids... for my first I wanted a boy, if he had been a girl he would have been called Ruth (see if we had a boy and not a girl we would have been RuthLESS :shock: ). Our second son, if he was a girl he would also have been called Ruth (for the same reason) .... by the time our daughter came along we wanted a girl so called her Portia, but if she'd have been a boy she would have been called Connor Sean.
It's a good job my parent's called me Alex, anything else and I wouldn't know that people were talking to me! Alex is a genderless name too - either sex can have it which is cool! :P

Don't know what I'd have been if I'd been a boy, and the next child after me was also a girl, although my dad went on to have two boys, Richard and Simon, but I don't know if my mum would have agreed to either of those - complicated, isn't it?
My two boys would both have been called Georgia if they were first girls, don't know what I'd have called a second one, but I have a Jordan and a Charlie.
Apparently, I'd have been Tracey Anne. I do know that I am the family accident though ... parents only wanted 3 kids, and then 7 years later the best of the bunch came along :))

if i was a girl (sometimes i get confused) i would have been called helen. but instead i turned out to be a blok which my mother wanted to call dave lol however my father wanted a child with the same name as him so he got his way and i was named Nick. or known as nick jr alot when my dad comes round.
I would have been a Jessica Louise Emma Victoria.
Instead i became a Chris Richard Ronald George William Henry. Although i only ever use the first two normally as otherwise you find forms and so on don't have enough boxes. Old family tradition means in theory if i have a kid he should be a Something Chris Richard.......Henry, except where the son shares a first name with the father in which case you can drop the repeat which is handy or else I would have three Henrys and 2 Williams.

OH wow...do you qualify for the throne with that name???
It is quite amusing when we have get togethers and can work out what the exact relationship is to each other by who the common names start with.

:twisted: Well i'm sure Chris will correct me if i'm slightly out on the exact details, but during WWII, one of Chris's family and a small squad of men defended a small area in Africa from the German army.
Although very much outnumbered, they succeeded in holding their ground, and were made honouary princes (Chris?) of that place by the grateful natives.
The titles ARE hereditory, so we actually have a member of royalty on the staff :mrgreen:
