What would your parents have named you if you were a boy?

[MrsMongoose]

Or a girl, if you're a man!

I'd have been Ross Lewis Surname.

James Robert after Dad Grandad and Uncle!

Richard or Jonathan.

Hate the idea of being called Dick or Johnny so am very pleased to be female!

Marc or Oliver.

If I was Marc I would have been one of seven in my class. As it is I got a name that I only encountered for the first time on a French exchange.

Joel

Isambard. Izzy for short.
My parents are a bit loopy.

Bruce

Martin. My initials would be MW and my mum thought it would have been really cool

Gavin. No idea why. Prefer their female choice (my name I mean!) though it is ridiculously common

Barry.... dodged a bullet there.

Alan

Nico, according to my dad. My mum says she didn't bother thinking of a boys name though as she 'knew' I was a girl

Jimmy after my granddad, mum's bump was Jimmy, they were a bit when I was a girl... was named after my nana

Andrew

Kerry I'm so glad I swerved that one. I've never known a single bloke called Kerry.

Colin. Fortunately they came to their senses when my brother came along and called him James. Lucky escape!

Richard. Weirdly my DH's first name is Richard (although he's known by his second name). And even more weirdly, his younger sister has the same name as me, so presumably his parents would have called him that name if he was a girl.

So DH would have had my name if he had been a girl and I would have had his name. Odd!

Littlecherublegs - those two names are my DH's first and second names, in that order! Were you born in the late 1970s too?!

Nathan. Same for both of my sisters.

Christian

Seamus

Benjamin.

Lots of Rory's wow!! Mine is 2

I found my parents names list on the back of an old cookbook. Alexander or George are the two I can remember. Paul was on there but my cousin was named that.

Noel ...nice... lol

James.
