Before you were born we were gonna call you ...

[Gondito]

I was gonna be called Alexander, but my mom said i looked like an Oliver, but i wouldn't mind being called Sean

My parents were going to name me Christian, but my dad ended up naming me Sean, which by the way is a great name in my opinion.

 

[Aesir23]

My parents were going to call me Rebecca, but they decided on Emily when I was born. I have no idea what they would've called me if I had been a boy though since they didn't know what gender I would be prior to when I was born.

Blaze. seriously.

That's my dad's name funnily enough.

My parents were going to name me Atticus Finch Yumkas. Glad they didnt.

EDIT: i love to kill a mokingbird, but eesh...

Holy shit, I was gonna be called Oliver, but I was named Alexandre (french for Alexander).

I actually wish I was named Oliver, Alex is wayyy too common.

 

[LogicNProportion]

Frankie. Frankie then, Frankie now, Frankie while my dad was still in the womb.

It's a tradition. First born son's name is Frankie.

I'm the 43rd. =P

Are you serious, so you're frankie (insert surname here) the 43rd?

Yyyyyyup.

 

[Nwabudike Morgan]

If I was to be born a girl I would have been named Alison, a name my dad insisted on. He told my mom it was because it was a really pretty name, when in reality he wanted to name me after the Elvis Costello song.

 

[TOGSolid]

Gandalf.

I really wish I was joking. I'm quite happy I got the very plain Tom instead.

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

They had settled on my name for the most part, though early on my dad wanted me to be a junior. "Charles Wayne McHenry, Jr." My mom didn't want that, though. However, if I had been born a girl, I found out I would have been named Alicia Danielle McHenry.

 

[Kortney]

Well I was given my parents 2nd favorite name to begin with. My twin sister got their favorite name, I got the back up name.

 

[Helmet]

Initially my parents were going to name me Tobias, because mom has always liked that name. Then my great grandfather who raised her died about a month before I was born, so I was instead named after him.

Aaron.

Be glad. You probably missed out on a ton of Animorphs jokes.

 

[Dark Knifer]

That or Zack, which is a cursed name, because everyone I know named Zack is a complete wanker!

Really? The Zack I know is working for a major airliner as a pilot at the age of 23. On top of that he is pretty awsome guy. We must live in parallel worlds or something.

 

[matumba]

Seamus (which I wouldn't have minded) or Steven (which I would have). I'm quite happy being a Brendan.

 

[Comma-Kazie]

My Dad wanted to call me Bubba. Fortunately Mum stepped in before he got near the birth certificate.

Not even joking on this one, although I wish I was.

 

[MintyNinja]

I was going to be named Jordan, but my grandfather spoke up and named me after a hockey player.

I still can't skate...

 

[Zersy]

Ryan.

Hmmmm Considering what they called me now I'm not sure which one is better ?

 

[Zersy]

I was almost Scooter but I ended up with Cassidy. I guess my folks didn't think about what would happen to me at school. Damn bullies...

That just gave me a evil evil sinister idea...........

 

[Tonimata]

Well my parents knew straight out they wanted to do a smaller version of my father...
"THEY FAILED, AS THEY WERE THROWN DOWN TO THE GROUND!"
On the other hand, my pseudonym I would have liked as my standard name. Just cause Serrant sounds cooooool
