What would your parents have called you if you were born the opposite sex?

I would have been a Daniel Jack, tennessee whiskey anyone?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

But much better is that my brother was going to be jessica so when he annoys me I always called him jessica when we were younger it really wound him up!!

Christopher David John so my mother tells me.

WoTmania · 17/05/2011 11:28

John same as my Dad, granddad, great-granddad, great great granddad etc etc. My younger brother had that joy.

Graham. Not a bad name, but not great either.

emsyj · 17/05/2011 11:14

Another Rupert here. Quite like it actually, but can't use it if I ever have a DS - DD is Ruth so Ruth and Rupert would be a bit much.

Continuum · 17/05/2011 11:09

Gareth. Quite like it myself!

Fimbo · 17/05/2011 11:00

Craig Brian.

Other girly choices for me were Darryl, Heather or Fiona. I would rather have been Fiona. Fee is a rather cool nickname.

Simon (in the 80s)

Which I absolutely hate, they must've got over it though as it wasn't suggested for DD. I'm not sure it's the name they had in mind for my older sister either.

Murray

I ask you ...

LifeInTheSlowLane · 17/05/2011 10:54

Simon, my sister would have been Gary. It was the 70s obviously!! (We both have quite 70s girls names too )

Timothy, so glad I was a girl

KvetaBarry · 17/05/2011 10:36

Rupert Niall. I had a very lucky escape!! Imagine being called Rupert in Glasgow. I would have been beaten so regularly...
