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

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

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Steven, apparently . They'd changed their minds by the time my sister was born two years later as they would have called her something different.

Their taste had obviously improved as they gave her a better name than me as well

Gavin or Gabriel based on family pattern...

Robbie....kind of wish we'd called ds that

Michael James Edward here. They had honestly expected me to be a boy.

I wasn't actually registered until the day before the deadline.

Ross or Robert.

Parents obsessed with 'R' names.
Younger brother is actually 'Ross' so they didn't change their minds three years later.
Not at all keen on Robert. . .
