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

My name is Stephanie. My parents said they were also considering naming me Heather (I'm glad they didn't). They also said that they were really glad I wasn't a boy, because they couldn't agree on any boy names for me.

My brother's name is David. I have no idea what they were going to name him if he had been a girl, but up until his birth they had planned on naming him Alexander. My Mom took one look at him when he was born, though, and said that he didn't look like an Alex.
