Your Own Name

[wolfbane.livejournal.com]

What's your name?

What were some other names your parents considered naming you? If you were born the opposite gender, what would your name have been? (If you don't know, that's okay!)

Do you like your name or any of the names you almost were given?

My name is Ashley Jane Cecilia (two middle names), and I like it a lot. It was a pain when I was growing up because I was born in 1987 and so were thousands of other Ashleys (imagine, my parents were trying to give me a unique name!) so I was always referred to by my first name and last initial. Now that the Ashley craze is dying down, I like my name a lot more. I also like having two middle names, it's kind of cool.

If I was a boy, I was going to be named Jared Gregory, which I don't like at all. Other names my parents considered were Heather and Mandy (not Amanda - just Mandy). I wouldn't have minded Mandy, but I'm not super fond of Heather.
