  If I had been a boy, I would have been William, after both of my grandfathers. My parents never had a different girl name for me though. I'm named after my Oma and my aunt, both of whom died two years before I was born.

  I was supposed to be Nicole, but then my aunt stole the name for my cousin that is a few months older than me. Then they picked Amanda, and a close friend stole that name. So glad though, because my name is not super popular, but not uncommon either.

  @caitykate- I was also supposed to Matthew.
  I've actually considered it for our LO, if it weren't for an ex-boyfriend, my sister's current boyfriend and a few of my students, it would prolly be in the top 3- lol.

  Not sure what I would have been if I was a boy, but I was Amber for a day until my grandpa asked how it would make sence to call me Missi then? So my mom changed my name to Melissa. All of my family still call me Missi.

  I almost named my DD Miley, but after reading up on the name (I kinda have a thing against using celebrity names) We decided not to.  Now after all the drama surrounding Miley Cyrus I'm kinda glad we didn't.

  If I was a boy I was going to Mark. But originally for a girl, my mom liked Sterling. Soooooo glad that didn't happen. My maiden name was a doozy, and my married name isn't much better...and Sterling doesn't flow well with either!

  My parents had my name picked out from when they were in high school. I am named after a song called "Clair" by Gilbert O'Sullivan. There wasn't even a doubt in their minds as to what my name would be.

  I was going to be Tara if my mom got her way. Tara is fine, but I'm glad my dad got to choose.
