What would your name have been in a parallel universe?

[thesortinghat]

Taken inspiration from another thread and wondered what my name would have been had I been born with a Y chromosome.

Apparently I would have been a Jonathan which I think I would have quite suited.

[Tigerbomb]

I would have been called Karl

My DS was supposed to be a DD and was going to be called Stephanie, Stevie for short - thank god he was a boy
My DD would have been Liam if she had been a boy

[SecretNutellaFix]

Michael Peter Edward James

I think I got off lightly.

[MrsTittleMouse]

I would have been a Simon.

But my younger brother was called something completely different, so they obviously went off the idea after a while. Just as well I was a girl. :)

[LemonDifficult]

Edward. DH was going to be Alexia.

[Crosshair]

James John. :/

[Kayano]

I would have been Christopher

And DH - who ironically is a Christopher - would have been Nicola

[spiderlight]

Richard Daniel. Yawn.

DH would have been Lorna. MIL desperately wanted a little Lorna, but she kept having boys and ended up calling the youngest Lorne.

[BreastmilkDoesAFabLatte]

Also a Thomas. Strong, classic, Biblical... would have been OK.

[brodanbell]

I would have been David but already had an uncle with that name, so I believe it was Daniel or Robert.

[iskra]

I would have been Andrew, although my younger brothers are Harry & Jeremy, so not sure what happened to Andrew!

[SaffronCake]

I thought you meant in a totally imaginary parallel universe, I was all set to say "Araminta-Persephone Finch, I never have been very lucky"... But now I have to say "Steven". Not quite the same is it.

[MardyBra]

I was going to be Martin until my brothers started pronouncing it with a glottal stop which put my mum off.

[bilblio]

Thomas (Tom.) As it is I have a very very unusual name, I've only ever met one other.

[ShoutyHamster]

I would also have been a Jonathan. So would my sister.

However, by the time my brother came along - Jonathan had fallen from favour and bro is something else entirely!

Poor Jonathan, fated never to exist!

[NoHunIntended]

I would have been Justin. My mum went off it by the time my brother arrived a couple of years later. He would have been Jessica, which she says she has also since gone off, so it is a good job we were what we are.

[pinkhebe]

I would have been a Michael.

[Secondtimelucky]

I would have been an Andrew. Which is odd, because my real name is far more unusual.

[mskatemc]

Oswald. Thank goodness I wasn't.

[FourThousandHoles]

I would have been one of many Stephens my age, instead of being one of the many s

[thesortinghat]

Puppy, that's a lovely name but a big jump from James. :)

Kellestar I think you had a lucky escape

[kellestar]

I would have been Jock, my mum thought it was lovely. My younger brother is Jack.

MiL chose Sydney for a boy and Robin for a girl, DH arrived and they went with Robin in the end.

DD would have been William.

[pommedechocolat]

Oh and totally off tangent - I quite like David and db suits being a Dave but the other week I had to sit through the inlaws slagging off the name for 20 mins! All quite aware that I have a db called Dave that they have met.

I think name tactlessness is weird.

[pommedechocolat]

I would have been David. They used it for my brother when he appeared two years later.

[helendigestives]

I would have been Liam. I like it.

[PuppyMonkey]

Ok, drumroll it's............. Oonagh

have got used to it but when I was growing up I cursed that bloody woman in the next bed.
