View Full Version : What would your name have been if you were a boy/girl?

I'm just curious to know what other names your parents thought of, before you were even born. What was on that list?!
Here (NL) it's common that parents do not want to know the gender of their unborn baby (they think of it as a pleasant surprise). But that way, they have to come up with both boy and girl names.
My name is Anouk, but if I were a boy my name would have been Youri.
So if you do know your 'other name', then post it here! :)

My name is Kenna (Scottish female version of Kenneth) it would've been Noah or Gideon

If I were a boy my parents were going to call me David, which raises further questions about what my year-younger-than-me cousin of the same name would then have been called.

Haha! Who knows.... :P
Or do you have any suggestions?

At the time the only suggestion I would've put forth would've been 'gurgle'.

:D And the occasional 'burp'.
I wished I could have told them that I wanted my sisters name... :P
EDIT: But that would not have been possible even I had a voice, since my sister is 2,5 years younger... :(

My names comes from an old story, a myth, a legend? Who the hell cares :aldo:
It would probably have been Patric since my original real name was suppose to be Patricia but then my pesky sister suggested a horrid name and they though it was awesome now substitutes in my school, when they read out the damn roll they pronounce it wrong and stupid and retarded that makes me want to create super duper evil robots and flat their wheels.

:lol:
Arethusa, Omphale, Semele, Iseult, Euterpe, etc. etc.
If your name isn't in the list, think of it: it could've been much worse!! :P

ROFL! :lol:
Persephone (read: the goddess of spring) sounds a bit too cocky...
I give up!
My sister also gets commented on her name all the time. Things like: 'is that your real name? No way! You're kidding!'
Especially with our family name... :P
You'd all be jealous of our family name. But of course .... I can't tell you. :'(

My first name is Elyse. I was named after my great grandmother from my fathers side. My mom originally wanted to name me Alexandra. If I was going to be a boy, they were going to name me Alexander and something else but I forget.

If i was a girl they were going to name me Alexandra. Alexander being my real name.

The worst part about your name would most certainly be the nicknames people could/would come up with :aldo:

If I were a girl I would have been called Hannah, but a really fat girl in my middle school ha ruined the name for me.

@DA: What is your name meaning? Cuz I might be able to guess since it's Arabic (from what you told me) and it has a meaning...
I don't think I ever had a different name, at least that's what my parents told me. My dad said he wanted a girl, and if they did, he would name me this one name.
But he did say that they wanted to name my little brother something else, Diego...I think it was. :shifty:

What sucks about Chinese names is that they're unisex. D: So If I was a girl I would probably have the same name, but since my chinese name is Wenchen my english name would probably be Wendy or something.
Chick
Apr 09 2008, 12:43 AM
Well...my parents wanted to call me Melody, but Victoria seemed like a much better fit. It means victory in Spanish, so it makes sense. My mom went through numerous attempts to have a child, so when I came along it was like a victory for her. She doesn't like talking much about the miscarriages though...
Final
Apr 09 2008, 02:29 PM
Hmm, think it was Emil, Kasper or Jonathan if I was a boy.. Jesper, Kasper and Jonathan is from a famous book/play here in Denmark, and my brother's name is Jesper... So yeah, that would be cruel :P
Vidya
Apr 09 2008, 02:45 PM
Well, my name is Ashton.
And it's basically unisex, so...probably Ashton. :|
Well, yeah, I know for sure it would have been Ashton.

Ps, your name is too deceiving for you to have :aldo:
