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

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

Ashley. Only picked because my mum was in labour for aaaaages and the midwife wanted something to do so decided she'd write out the name tags. My mum was so convinced I'd be a girl she just plucked Ashley out of thin air, knowing it wouldn't matter.

My poor brothers would have all been called Cherry had they been girls. It's probably for the best that she only had boys after me!

Stripey, thank God you weren't a boy. Maurice is dreadful.
I was going to be Anthony, which is quite tame.

Yet I've got a very, very unusual name.
