My parents also liked the name Audrey and Andrew was their boy name!

Seraphina. I had a lucky escape, lol.
-
Abigail, Alison and Tonia were my mom's top choices. My dad vetoed all of them, thank god.
-
If I were a boy, it would have been Michael, my little brother's name ( family name), and I was originally supposed to be Katherine, but my cousin was named Katherine first, so I am the Gaelic version. However, I know my mom liked my name through her first two pregnancies.
-
@travelgirl1: I think Seraphina is beautiful! I was going to be Dawn. (I'm glad I'm not) and Eddie if I was a boy. I like my name just fine
-
My grandma wanted to name my mom Nanette. Good thing they picked Julie!
-
My dad wanted me to be named Emily. I like it a lot! My mom won though and they named me Danielle
-
@Mrs. Jacks: I think it's more popular now than it was back then... But it would sooo not have gone with my last name. Ps, I especially love your youngest daughter's name-so pretty!
-
@Mrs. J: I like Julie a lot more!
-
@Autumnlove: can you imagine being named Nanette? I just think of the 1920s musical, No, No, Nanette...and that's only because I was in it my freshman year of high school!
-
@travelgirl1: Why thank you!
-
@Mrs. J: DH's Aunt's name was Nanette.
-
I was going to be Jayden if I was a boy.
(1988) -
They were considering naming me Ariel. Thank goodness they didn't... since I have long wavy red hair, I never would have heard the end of it.
-
Mom wanted to name me Robin but Dad thought people would call me bird brain. Not sure what I would have been if a boy, maybe my younger brothers name?
-
My mom wanted to name me Alabama Lynn and call me Allie. Thank God my aunt stepped in and helped change her mind!
-
Naomi or Chloe but dad nixed 'em
-
Daphne. I'm glad they went with Brianne.
@Sweet T: Alabama? Nice.
-
@zippylef: Oi!!! One of those is my name!!! Haha!
I was supposed to be Andrea but my dad went to register me alone and came back with a different name on the birth certificate! My mum doesn't know where he had got it from - they'd never even discussed that name!
-
I would have been Brendan if I was a boy. My great aunt wanted my parents to name me after my great grandmother - Blossom. Thank goodness they did not do that!
-
My mom had my name picked out for years so it was easy! I'm not sure what the name would have been if I were a boy
-
I was "Frances" for three days before they changed to what it is now. My current name isn't better.
-
My dad liked Melissa but my mom hated the nn Missy so she vetoed. I would have been Kyle (my kid brother's name) if I were a boy.
-
Not me. But my sister's name starts with an L, my dad got to pick it since my mom picked my older brother's. If she were going to be a boy it would be Lenny, and my mom wasn't a fan. She was sitting there pushing her out praying she'd be a girl.
-
@rubies - your name IS better than Frances. At least people know you're a girl when they see/say your name! Frances is a tough one.
I was going to be Dana. I'm so glad they changed their mind!! For a short period of time, they considered calling me by my grandmothers' middle names: Dolores Josephine
-
I'm not sure what other girl names they were considering as my dad says they had a couple and my mom claims that she wasn't sold on anything and just knew my name fit when she heard it.
If I was a boy I would have been Matthew after my dad's middle name.
-
My parents were also considering Katie, which is ironic because everyone tells me I look like Katie Holmes...my name would have been Katie Homler!
-
I was almost Jeanine because it sounds close to my name in Mandarin... glad I'm Charlene instead!
-
@autumnlove: I do not know why but they thought they were having a boy, even though my mom had no ultrasounds. So they picked Andrew and only had to change one letter when I came out.
-
@Andrea: They are so creative! Haha!
-
If I was a boy I would have been Carrington Bryce. I'm not sure how I feel about that name.
-
My mom wanted to name me Lily (which I like) or Hyacinth (no). If I were a boy it would have been Eric.
-
@autumnlove: I know, your parents were a little more creative but I see they like A names, too!
-
My parents nearly named me Elizabeth
-
Caoilin (I think the proper pronounciation is KEE-lin but they'd have pronounced it Kay-oh-lin) Siobhan. I don't know why but they changed their minds at the last minute (like after I was born) and I ended up being Sarah Caitlin.
-
If I was a boy, I was going to be Daniel Logan. My name was predestined because my dad had always wanted to name a daughter after my mom's grandma. If either of my brothers had been girls, they would have had my name.
-
My mom wanted Paige and my dad wanted Aubrie. My name is Aubrie Paige (first and middle, not one name) My dad won that one
-
Yup, my mom liked Laura but it sounded funny with our last name.
-
My mom wanted to name me Kitty. Not Katherine with Kitty as a nickname, just Kitty. Thankfully my dad put the hells no on that choice. My mom also wanted to name me Ballard, which I would be fine with as an adult but since the neighborhood we grew up in was right next to a neighborhood called Ballard, I think there would have been a fair amount of teasing.
-
I was going to be Nicole or Kati Lynn
So they compromised on Katilyn
