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 had two girls' names picked out, Sharon Lynn and Rachel Marie. I was going to be Rachel, but at the last minute my dad changed his mind. So, Sharon am I. :) My sister is Rachel.

My twin brother is Michael John, after our dad. Other boys' names considered, were I or my sister male: Joshua David and Nathan Hale.
