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 Kristy Marie, and my mom was pretty much set on Kristy since high school, so since my dad agreed quickly, there was no alternative girls name for me. If I was a boy, I could have been Paul Jasper III, Cody Paul, or Vicenzo Paul.

For my sister, they knew they were having a girl. They thought about naming her Katie Lynn and calling her Kaitlyn, naming her Katilyn Marie and calling her Katie, but then eventually my mom decided she wanted to name her what she called her and vice versa. So her name is Katie Michelle.
