*Vote on our Baby names*
I am the last of three girls and they were pretty sure I was a boy. They were going to name be Patrick after my father. When I came out they were going to name me Patricia and had a last minute name change and went with Meghan. Pheww. No offense if anyone is named Patricia. Just don't see my self as a Patty or Trisha.
I would have been Mia Maude if not for my dad. They kept Maude, because it was my grandma's name, but my fn is Samantha. My younger sister is going to be Ariel Rynn, but is Tabitha Rynn (this was before the little mermaid). My brother was going to be Jesse James, but is Nathanial James(thank god!).
My mom was pulling for Cassaundra. My dad on the other hand, was dead set on Scooter. Not as a NN.
I cannot even come close to imagining the torment I would have gotten for that as a kid. I have no idea how they compromised on the final result.
My MIL told me once that she thought about naming MH Michael Dennis to go with his sister's name, Michelle Denise. Thankfully she decided not to do that.
My mother only picked out Chasity Rose. She always believed I was a girl and refuses to say there were any other names she entertained.
My brother was supposed to be a girl but she always insisted he was going to be a boy and only picked out Christopher Ross.
I don't know if I believe these stories or if she just doesn't remember the names that she didn't love and felt were unneeded. I'd imagine she would have somehow picked out a name for the right gender if needed, lol.
My mother lobbied my dad long and hard to name me for her favorite aunt (Chearca) but my Dad flat out refused!
So, my mother moved on to her next favorite name--Pamela while my dad worked on her to name me Jennifer. Long story short, as she was waking up from the anesthesia following her c/s the nurse gave her a polaroid of me in the NICU with a giant name banner--Jennifer Diane.
She was beyond ticked, but I'm thankful to not be Pamela!
Blue.
Seriously. My parents aren't even the hippy type, but for some reason my mom really wanted to name be Blue. And call me Bluebell as a nickname. Oy.
Thankfully, they just went the family name route and I was named after my grandmother.

No more TTC for us. We are done, and at peace, as a family of 4.
"Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but – I hope – into a better shape.” — Charles Dickens
If I was a boy I would have been Julio. Yes, Julio, after 3 boys there were done with important males in the family to name me after. Julio Arthur.
My mom's girl name choices were Rachel or Rebecca. My dad hated both of them. My mom said to bad pick one. He said well I like Rachel a little better the Rebecca. So that's my name Rachel, because my dad hated it less.
Megan or Courtney
Charles, if I was a boy
If I was a boy I would have been Franklin Merrill (nn Lin) after both grandfathers... So glad I was a girl! Laura Suzanne.
My older sister was going to be Gregory James if she was a boy.
My brother and sister are both "P" names so they were debating between Paige and Patricia (Tricia) but then my sister came up with Kristy and it just stuck.
If I was a boy: Jeffery
DX: PCOS/Recurrent losses/MTHFR mutation (compound hetero)
5 hysteroscopies/2 surgical
3 Inject IUIs = 2 m/c's and 1 BFN
IVF #1= BFP. m/c at 7w6d. Needed 2 D&C's and scar tissue removal. Mild OHSS
IVF #2 = BFP. Severe OHSS. 4 Drainings. TWINS!
The whole time my mom was pregnant, my name was going to be Margaret (nn Maggie). On the way to the hospital, she told my dad that I was a Meg, not a Maggie. Thus, my name is Megan.
If I had been a boy, I would have been Joseph.
My dad wanted to name me Shay (ugh!!) and my mom wanted to name me Rhiannon (not so bad). My sister was gonna be Eleanor until my dad vetoed it. I like my first name, Bronwyn, but I DON'T like my middle name all that much, Lara, just because my older cousin's first name is Laura and they are said the same. My sister ended up being Arwen which suits her.
My FH is Nathan but his dad wanted to name him Nathaniel which his mom vetoed. He's glad because he detestes Nathaniel. lol.
my parents didn't know if i was going to be a boy or a girl. they had the name brian picked out for a boy, but no name for a girl. my mom ended up having an emergency c-section and when i was born the doctors said to my dad, 'it's a girl! what's her name?' and my dad said, 'um, katie!' and thus i am katie.
my middle name is my mom's middle name.
supposedly after the anesthesia my mom woke up and said to my dad, 'what did we have?' and he said, 'a girl.' she asked him, 'what's her name?' and he said, 'katie.' and she said 'okay' and went back to sleep!
