I was going to be Nicholas (Nick) if I was a male, but my brother got that name 3 years later... and his due date was my birthday! He was born a couple weeks early, however
Leigh...but I have a half sister called Leah...and my mum thought it was too similar (dad and his wife did't think ''Emma'' (youngest sister) was too close to ''Gemma" (my name) though...sorry...I just hate my name!)
Oh wow, lol, I (Heather) was going to be Hillary or Bronwyn, lmao! My brother, whose name is Ivan, was going to be Conrad or John. I dunno what my mum was thinking!
I was always going to be 'Becky'. Becky is my full name too, not Rebecca, everyone calls me Rebecca though which is annoying. I don't have anything against the name but it's not my name! If I were a boy I would've been called 'Rory'
I was going to be Kelly, Samantha or Rebecca. I got Kelly, but kind of wish id got Samantha . xx My mum was meant to be called Tanya, but when my grandad went to register her he decided to call her Karen instead . xx
My mum wanted to call me Claudia, but thankful everyone talked her out of it! And I was going to be Ross if I was a boy...Stephanie is not great, but better than Claudia!
I was going to be Imogene but my dad didn't like it, then Natalie or Natasha but my dad couldn't spell them. So i was named Gemma. If i was a boy i would have been Luke.
I was going to be Lucy or Amy. Nothing to exciting. Emma-Louise is not much better just Longer to say. Typical of my parents lol. If I was a boy I would have been James
My mum had three names on her shortlist when I was born.
Jody
Sadie
Posy
My dad didn't like any of them but apparently thought Jody was the best of a bad lot, so he went and registered me before my mum was even home from the hospital.
I wouldn't have minded Sadie but am so glad he hated Posy.
I have a friend who was supposed to be called Marta but her dad decided he prefered Maria so he changed just the one letter when he registered her. Her mum still isn't over it 22 years later but my friend decided she would rather be known as Mary anyway, so neither of her parents got the name they wanted her to have
i was amie for a girl or lee for a boy but after a big argument while my mum was in labour (not suprising they split not long after) i ended up amie-leigh
my half sister younger is tonia-leigh so i guess my dad liked the name leigh
its quite funny he has 4 kids all female
Dad wanted to call me Jennifer and Mum wanted Lisa .. Mum won! To make it fair my Dad got to pick my middle name, so I'm Lisa Jane! I guess that's a nice way to do it! xx
