If you weren't you, who'd you be?

**The Flying Mouse** · 03 Nov 2006, 02:08

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

Y'know I really honestly don't know

!!!!!!!

Heli · 03 Nov 2006, 02:19

Well since the brother after me was called Josh, I think I would have been Joshua...

.....thank god I'm Helena

Rockette · 03 Nov 2006, 03:43

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

Ageing Bat · 03 Nov 2006, 09:51

My name would have been David.

LucyK! · 03 Nov 2006, 09:55

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!!!

KebLou · 03 Nov 2006, 10:49

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!

He's 11 years old and taller than me!

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

), 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!

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???

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???

**RadioMaster** · 03 Nov 2006, 17:00

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 it´s too complicated, I usually abbreviate it.

batoutofhell3 · 03 Nov 2006, 18:17

my parents didnt know what they were gonna call me if i was a boy...they knew that if i was a girl that i wud be called Katie after my great grandma so yeah... good fing im a girl!

i know that my dad wanted to call me sandy...but im so glad im not...can u imagine the bullying...(as my last names shore) bloody hell Sandy Shore....

lol!

Lord Kagan · 03 Nov 2006, 18:29

Jen · 03 Nov 2006, 20:15

Think I was gonna be John...

heat · 03 Nov 2006, 22:58

Thinking about it, if my boys had been girls, i would have had..

Brogan, Azariah, Kyrennah and Teague

JanT · 03 Nov 2006, 23:32

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

). 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.

Alex · 03 Nov 2006, 23:39

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

Hypnobabe · 08 Nov 2006, 18:00

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.
