If I was a boy, my parents would have called me...?

[WiiUnfit]

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

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

Tomos Llywellyn.

My Mum says she would have called me Peregrine. My Dad says no she bloody wouldn't...

I would have been a James, I was nearly a Faye, which I much prefer to my actual name.

Robert

Niiiice jeffinghell. Lovely classic name. Is your name as nice?

I would have had the lovely Welsh moniker of Deio. Love it!

Raoul- Arrrrggggghhh! Thank god I was a girl!

Anthony. Which is weird cos my brother (2 years later) has a completely different name

Colin. The name I actually got wasn't much better.
DH was named by his big brother - it's awful too, DH is very bitter.

My DCs have lovely names though.

Gareth Russel. Which somehow sounds like 'gristle' to me...

@ Rupert, Dorian, Sheridan, Murray & Reginald!

Gareth Russel does sound like gristle to me too Minicooper

DP is a Christopher Andrew, if he was a girl he would have been a Christine Anne or a Charlotte Anne (his initials the same as his late Aunt's) :)

Probably Craig for my Uncle who died when he was 17,three years before I was born.

My cousin who is two years younger than I,was named for him instead.

Tyler Joseph. My mother was so sure I was a boy, it's the only name she had ready, and when I came out the 'wrong' sex, she just pulled a girl's name off of one of her soaps to get the naming over. I've heard how very disappointing it was and how she doesn't really like the names so many times that I keep long 'short lists' of lovely meaningful names for both sexes at the birth.

My sisters and I would have been named Thomas, Daniel and Owen.

I'm Thomas. Sometimes we even greet each other with our boy names

Eric. I think my dad might be pulling my leg. My brother is Stephen but would have been Sarah.

Neil Jeffrey

When I said, 'what OMG why on earth?', she said 'after my first husband, Norman John'.

Right - so you were going to call your son a name which had the same initials as your first husband, whom you divorced because he was a bully and the marriage was never consummated. yes, that sounds like a completely sensible idea.

thank god i was a girl, really!

Sean. I quite like it, actually.

Peter Jon (1975).

Nicholas (1973)

Could have lived with that although I would have shared a name with a famous TV journalist.

Keith.

I don't like it. I do like my actual name very much so I'm glad I'm a girl.

Jacob!

lloyd.

iwish neil jeffrey is the name of my boss.

Richard

Christopher or Steven

My parents advised me once they would have called me Rory.

....I will add that I like Rory alot more than the name I got.
