    My mom said that if she had a girl, she would've named her Lisa. She says she always knew I was going to be a boy, which she wanted. She was always going to name me what she did, after her grandfather. It just so happened to be the same name as my father's, so I ended up getting his middle name as well.

    If I ever have a son, I'm not naming him after myself.

    I have no idea. I know the female alternative to my name is Tamsin so that's a possibility. Knowing my parents love for bible names and naming their kids things that other family members don't have, I have to imagine I probably would have been named Sarah or Mary if I was a girl.

    Mum wanted 'Michael Aaron' and Dad wanted 'Christoper Aaron'. Thankfully they didn't have to have that argument in the end.

    My future is fuelled by the fires of words, wit and companionship.

    My parents thought I was going to be a boy. They were going to call me Paul or something like that because Christian name.

    Then they found out I was going to be a girl. My mom liked the name Kimberly. My current middle name is Felisa, so I used to joke that my initials would've been KFC. But my mom also liked the middle name Nicole, so the actual name was likely to be Kimberly Nicole. Don't know why they went back to Paul(a). I guess they just wanted to name me after great-grandmothers.

    They also ended up adding another name to my first name for the religious purpose. People never really called me by it, so I don't always answer to it. It's part of my legal name, though, so for instance, in school, that's the name on the attendance the professors called out on the first day of class. I was always like, wait, that's me. I think.

    I have no idea what my name was supposed to be. The doctors told my parents that I was going to be a girl, and that I would be born on a pretty different date from when I was born. My brother was against this notion though, and he was adamant about the fact that I was going to be a boy and that I would be born on his birthday. Anytime I was brought up before I was born, he would always be quick to tell people they were wrong. "Nu-uh! I'm going to have a brother on my birthday!" Come my October 26 on my brother's seventh birthday, he got me as a birthday gift. A boy. I got the name Scott, as you all know.

    I'd never really thought about what my name was supposed to be before I turned out to be a boy. Maybe I'll ask my parents someday!

    Its funny, I'm religious, I have a son with a religious name, and I really like religious names. But not because they're religious. I just think the Bible has some really good names.

    I know most of the names in the Bible are translated anyways and not really the actual names of the people who wrote it :P

    I think my Spanish family were trying to pressure my Mum into calling me Carmen. For continuing the family name tradition reasons.

    Mum went "lolno" and called me Shauna instead. So I guess I didn't have any other names, really.

    They should have combined Shauna and Carmen to make you "Shaumen."

    Then you could have awesome druid powers or something.
