so what were some names that your mother almost named you? if i were a boy, i'd have been called beau david and other girl names that mom wanted were rebecca colleen (becca) and betsy jeanne. she settled on traci jeanne because on the way to the hospital, my dad was singing a song called "traces of love" to calm her down. i think that him not letting her call me betsy is about the best thing he ever did for me!

Also, my parents were completely convinced that my brother would be a girl. They were going to name him Megan Jane (Megan because it's Irish, and both of my grandmothers' names begin with an M, and Jane because my grandmothers both have the middle name Jane).

Strangely enough, even after he popped out a boy, he didn't get Sean Christopher. His first name was one grandfather's middle name, and his middle name was the other grandfather's first name.
