my mother wanted to name me tuesday, which is the day i was born. she had already had katelyn picked out. my dad named me though so i wound up carrie marie.
as my mom used to tell it, they never even picked out a boys name because she always knew i would be a girl.
i think so, too.. but, if dad had gotten his way i would've probably ended up Summer Skye or Skye Country.. which is a little too hippie-ish for me and kinda ruins the name in my opinion..
if I had been a boy: Stephen Dwayne Lawrence Daniel
My mom wanted to name me (pending I came out female-y): Lily Elaine (my sisters initials are LE - different last name though - hers is S. Mine is L. LEL? Ah!)
If I was a boy, I was going to be Alexander. Other girls names my parents considered were Emily, Stephanie, and Celeste. I ended up being called Alison, which I'm pretty happy about. Emily and Stephanie are too common, and Celeste is just silly.
My dad wanted to name me Sybil, but was vetoed by my mom. My mom wanted to name me Sergio if I was a boy. It would have worked with her Italian maiden name, but not with her English married name. I think another alternative was Eric. Either way, I ended up as Courtney Anne
Male: Julian Raphael Female: My dad wanted me to be Lili or Lili-Ann after his grandmother, I think they also considered Fatima. I ended up Julia Noëmi Sophia.
I don't know if my parents had alternative girl names for me. I know my dad picked out Alyssa, which seems kinda shocking considering most guys pick really bad names. If I were a boy my name would have been Jeffrey or Kevin. When my mom was pregnant with my brother, we voted as a family between Jeffrey and Kevin, I voted for Kevin and it ultimately won.
Thanks! I always find it hard to explain how to pronounce something ....but I guess "no-Eh-mee" (or maybe "no-AY-mee"...is there even a difference between those two?). Anyway it's the swiss/german version of Naomi.
