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

[Thaius]

My parents got tired of people asking what they were going to name me, so they started saying my name would be "Abdul bubba." Thankfully, they wee just kidding. I think. Either way, I ended up with a much better name.

 

[Lonan]

I was going to be called Mark, but they thought that Robert would be more appropriate when they saw me.

 

[Grabtharr]

Axl. As in Axl Rose. Thankfully, my mom talked my dad down to Ozzie, which nobody ever believes is my full name anyway.

 

[KosherGreenBean]

My parents had it on their mind to call me Stephanie...

When I popped out, I ended up being male, so I got the name Kurt.

The same thing happened with me, except I was going to be named Andrew Oliver, then I came out a girl...so now I'm Megan.

My mum wanted to call me Flora originally. Until my eldest brother started singing the butter advert and she changed her mind (thank god). Then they were going to call me Karen, before realising my initials would KP for KP Peanuts. So I got stuck with Caren. I hate my name. Would much rather be called Alex. I think I suit Alex more.

 

[damselgaming]

Fern or Clementine.
Luckily my Dad got to name me. I'm Nicole, and I like it.

 

[ae86gamer]

If I would have been a boy my name would be Justin.

I wouldn't change my name though. I was named after the original Pink Power Ranger [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5sVLYQMfe8] after all.

 

[Nietz]

Both my mom and my grandma wanted to call me "Marius", after my great granddad, but dad protested on the issue. But it did make for a fine middle name which I carry now.

 

[Samuel Cook]

I was originally going to be Shamus, which is a fucking awesome name but my dad didn't like it. However, when my mum brought up the subject my dad claims he liked the name, which pissed my mum and myself off.

 

[Penguinishka]

It started out with either Inez or Leona which is a girly form of my grandpa's name.
Somehow they thought Nicole was better. Yeah they dropped the ball on that one.

 

[Kodlak]

They had some 6 ideas picked one, then gave me 5 middle name... the initials of which spell baron... takes the piss.

... There's nothing wrong with that name.

 

[maddawg IAJI]

According to the story, I was meant to be called Alex. A name that now belongs to my little brother. Adam was picked after my parents saw a parental video involving a child named Adam.

 

[Razavn]

My dad wanted to call me Jason Douglas...the name they settled on is Matthew and I am quite glad for that as my family has nicknamed me Zach Braff after the JD charactar on Scrubs...so at least I don't have the initials JD to go along with them.

 

[dex-dex]

my mum wanted Sarah but my aunt had taken that name
my dad had chose my name and my brother's
i am so glad my name was not Sarah but i am not in favor of Brooke either

 

[Batfred]

If I was a girl I would have been Tia Maria... yes, like the drink. My middle name would have been Rowena. Thank God I'm a bloke!

 

[Vet2501]

My dad wanted to call me Alowishus, but my mum overruled him.

 

[thisisyournamenow]

i was going to be Maximus Decimus Meredius, leonhart, most badass MOFO, chrono, bruce wayne, superman, deadpool, This is sparta

at least thats what i was told

 

[Julianking93]

My parents had settled on Julian if I was a boy, but if I was a girl, I'd be named Francis.

Thank fuck I'm not a girl...
