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

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

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

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

Steven, apparently Hmm. 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 Envy

Thomas.

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

TigBits · 16/05/2011 22:22

I'd have been Joel.

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

Gavin. Dad was disappointed we didn't consider it for our 2, and remains hopeful we'll change our minds if we ever have a boy!
