Names that could have been?

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

I'm Amy Lynne but I was almost named Jennifer Lynne. My parents had called me "Jenny" the whole pregnancy. When I was born my mom said I didn't look like a Jenny so they thought about it for a few weeks (!) and then decided on Amy.
I would of been Jeffery William if I had been a boy.
