Do you know what you would have been named if you were the opposite sex now? Do you like it?

My mother would have named me Nathaniel Robert Charles. The double middle name comes from both grandfathers. I actually like it a lot, which is surprising because I am indifferent about my actual name.

I'm Jennifer and I would have been Christopher. Not sure if she had a middle name picked out.

My uncle called me "baby fur-fur" before I was born.

I am Casey Paige and I would have been Casey Brett.

Casey after Casey Stengl who was a baseball manager (my parents are obsessed with baseball) and they just liked Brett. I don't like Brett but I do think the one syllable works well with Casey.

I'm Erin Leigh and would have been Nigel if I was a boy. My name was actually the result of an ongoing fight between my parents: dad wanted Margot Leigh, mom wanted Emily Elizabeth.

I have no clue. My parents only had a girl's name picked out (Erica Lynn), which is me.

Richard [no idea about a mn]
It ended up being my younger brother's name (Richard Thomas); so that's an overriding positive association. In the abstract though I love the style and [good] nickname potential of it. So it's on my list as a middle name.
My parents made a better job with that one.

Might still have ended up going by Sage though, or possibly River. Obviously yes I do like those.

My mom would have wanted Kurt Dewayne Jr. my dad would have said no and then they'd have called me Brent Scott. Which is what happened when my little brother was born.
I like Brent's name.

I would have been Jeremy. And my parents didn't use middle names.

My parents would have named me Scott Timothy; Timothy is after my dad. I hate Scott and I'm not a huge fan of Timothy (though I'd be okay with being named after my dad). Instead I'm Lindsay Rebecca, which I like a lot more.

I'm Rebecca Lynn (Ick) and would of been Charles Anthony if I had of been a boy. Charles after my Grandfather. My younger sister is Sarah Elizabeth but they intended to use Charles Anthony for her had she been "the" boy.

David or Mike.
Mike is just meh, but David would have been cool. It's a nice name, but Doctor Who makes it awesome for me (Yay for the awesome David Tennant!). Also, I would have the same name (including last name, I mean) as an actor from one of my favorite shows. ^^

I'm Megan Michele and I would have been Kyle Evan. Interestingly enough, I have two brothers and neither ended up as a Kyle (though my youngest brother does have the middle name Evan).

Here's what my siblings would have been:

Brandon Anthony --> Brandi (I don't think they got far enough to pick a middle name)
Mary Jo Maureen --> Joseph Evan
Eric Evan --> Hope or Hannah (again, I don't think they picked a middle name)

I would've been Jeffrey Michael. Ew. I don't really like my given name (Melissa Marie) either. My mom and I have very different tastes.

My brother would've been Jessica, he ended up Jack Michael.

I would have been Alexander. I'm not sure what the middle name would have been. I'm thinking Alexander Andre, but it could have been Alexander Mark.

I like Alexander, but I don't like Alex, and I'm sure everyone would've called me that.

I am Pamela Susan and I would have been Jason Harold (Harold after my father) if I were a boy. I am glad I wasn't a boy!

No idea about the middle name, but I would have been Alexander (my grandfather's name). It's now my brother's name.
I like it.
