    Default What was your other name?

    Did your parents have a contingency name in case you were going to be the opposite sex from what you are?

    Before they knew what sex I was going to be, my girl name was going to be Laura Marie. They would have just called me Laura.

    If you had one, what was yours going to be?

    Me and my older brother were going to be called Rebecca and Jessica. I'm not sure which was which.

    I'm glad I'm called Danny and that I have a penis.

    No, that was just going to be my first and middle name. That's why I specified they were just going to call me Laura.

    I was going to be Fred.

    They were sure I was gonna be a boy.

    I was almost Jessica .. Until my dad smurfed up and said "We can call her Jessie!" ... My mom shut that down quick and now I'm Jamie Lee!

    If I were born a boy, my name would have been Max. Sarah was the only name that was considered for me as a girl because my mom had a dream about a little redheaded girl sitting on a stool named Sarah when she was pregnant with me, so that locked it in.

    My dad jokes about how he was tempted to name me Cornelius if I were boy so people would call me Corny Cobb.

    My parents didn't decide on Jessica until after I was born. I'm glad I ended up a Jessica.

    I have no idea what my name was going to be if I was a boy.

    I was, however, supposed to be named Stefanie, but my mom neglected to mention this to the doctors and so Stephanie went on my birth certificate.

    They didn't start thinking of names until they knew that I was going to be a boy. My mom apparently wanted to name me Wesley (my name is Justin for those who don't know). I am glad I got Justin because my family ended up getting into Star Trek: The Next Generation. My parents would have had no problem saying, "SHUT UP, WESLEY!" Especially if I misbehaved. Like, seriously, they still call me "the boy" to this day (because in early episodes of the show, Wesley Crusher was referred as such).

    Well, I don't know about my female name, but my dad did want to name me something else. My mother wouldn't allow it.

    I'm not telling you what it is because I use that name as me secret alter ego to do evil things with.
