It could have been worse...

Recent posts got me thinking on my mothers list of maybe names, and I was interested to hear peoples comments

So, I'm a girl called Steve, just Steve on the birth certificate. I've grown to love it, but suffice to say I didn't used to and it brings with it certain ... difficulties. That said, in many ways I did have a lucky escape:

Names my mother was considering:

Storm (this was her number one choice right up until the last minute - she was still umming and ahhing when she registered me as Steve)
Angel
September
Friday

On the other hand, she also gave serious consideration to

Rae
Lois
Antonia
Sian
Natalie

Random selection, eh?

Any thoughts? Any near misses you would like to share?

I used to be good friends with a girl named Storm, so it seems like a normal name to me!
And I had a friend once called Stevie, but just Steve is very interesting for a girl!

I am a Claire, my parents also considered April and Olivia.
I probably would have been Cameron or Jeffery if I had been a boy, because those are my two younger brother's names.
