Names that could have been?

[istytehcrawk.livejournal.com]

What 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

My mom liked Erin, but she vetoed it when my dad wanted to name me Erin Karen, hahahaha. If I'd been a boy, I would have been Scott Timothy (Timothy after my dad). Instead, I'm Lindsay Rebecca. I like Erin, too, but I also like my name.

My brother would have been Lindsay if he'd been a boy. My mom really liked the name, but my dad wanted something different with me (which, obviously, didn't work out for him). Instead, he's Michael Paul. There was never any question about that one. Michael is in honor of her uncle, but I'm not sure the story there (his name was Donald Charles? hahahaha) and Paul is in honor of my dad's older brother.
