What would your name be if you had been a boy?

Ciconrad

I was talking about this with some playgroup moms the other day so I'll ask here.  If you were a boy, what were your parents going to name you?  Most of us were born in the pre-u/s days so our gender was a complete surprise to our parents and most of them had probably agreed to a boy's name before we were born.

My name is Crystal.  I was going to be Christopher if I was a boy.  2 years later when my brother was born, my parents were over Christopher and named him Jeffrey.  He would have been Megan for a girl.

they couldn't agree on a girl name for me and i almost left the hospital without one.  my name is genevieve.

if i had been a boy, my name would have been trevor.  i'm not the biggest fan of that name.  it reminds me of a boy i didn't like in kindergarten

Ian

I was going to be Michael Leo.

As a matter of fact, they never decided on a girl name when I was born, only a boy. So when I came out a girl my family all put names in a hat! Of course in the end my mom over ruled them all and used the name she wanted, Nicole.

Max. Not a huge fan of the name. Later on when I was older we named my bird "Max".

My mom was (and still is) in love with the name Kendall.  So I would have probably been that or named after my dad (that honor was bestowed on my brother 7 years later).

My mom also only chose a boy name.  They thought for sure I would be a boy and then had a the hardest time choosing a name that grandmother approved of!  They went with Lisa Ann

I was going to be an Ian Vincent, I must admit that I came out to be an Elise McKenna instead

I don't know about a boy name, but I am glad that my mom saved me with the ever popular Jennifer. My dad wanted to name me Ida Mae.

Daniel Paul

Two years later my parents had a little boy and named him exactly that.

I was almost a Hillary too!  I think if I was a boy I would have been a Gregory.

I'm not sure what my boy name would have been, but my mom wanted to name me Chastity.  Thank goodness my dad vetoed that one!

My name is Blair. I would have been Brock. DH's middle name is Brock & that's what we will name our LO if it's a boy.

They thought my sister was a boy. They left the hospital with a girl and  went with Brooke. Close enough I guess!

My mom thought I was a boy til the day I was born... I still have the green puppy dog bedding she had for me lol.

My name would have been Nicholas Ryan Addison.

Well, you've been to third base, so, they got that right  (JK)

I was going to be Neil. Even better I was also going to be Neil as a girl. My mother met some "amazing" woman named Neil and she wanted to pass on that gift to me. Thank goodness they had second thoughts. After I was born I had no name for three days and then they finally agreed to name me Paige.

Daniel Patrick

If LO had been a boy, that is the name DH and I would have gone with as well:)

I, too, would have been Christopher.  I'm very glad I turned out to be a girl.  Not that there's anything wrong with the name Christopher.  But, looking back, it was nice to be the only Jaime in my class as opposed to one of about 15 (not exaggerating!) Chrises.

jacodi

Matthew. Which is coincidentally my husbands name.

nannyannie

Christopher Wayne

It's my younger brother's name instead.

I honestly believe I got the short end of that stick.

My parents hadn't picked out a boys name for me.  They just kept their fingers crossed.

VampyAuthor

I hate to admit this...Randall Travis. Randall after my dad. And, Travis was their other favorite boy's name.

JordanS803

My mom was set on having a Jordan, no matter what!  If I had been a boy my middle name would have been Robert instead of Rene.
