Names that could have been?
Jun. 1st, 2008 09:36 pmWhat would you have been named if you weren't named what you were named?
Or, to be less dense, what other names did your parents consider for you and your siblings?
I am: Misty Lynn.
I could have been:
Joee (yuck - one of mom's top choices)
Brandee (yuck - ditto)
Daphne (meh - mom overruled because she didn't want me to be called Daffy)
Tiffany (yuck - ditto above, but Tiffy)
Scott Anthony (if I had been a boy) - (meh. Not horrible, but not great)
My sister is: Summer Lynn
She could have been:
Joshua Ray (yuck) (Ray was after her father) - this is now my cousin's name
Autumn

Date: 2008-06-02 02:57 am (UTC)I was very close to being named Katarina, sort of after the figure skater. or my first name would have been either Camille or Katherine. but ultimately my mom decided all three of those names didn't sound right with my last name...haha. i still don't get it. i wish my name was something more original than Jessica :( and i used to seriously hate my middle name until recently.
