What you you name have been if you had been born the opposite gender?

I was just looking through the what is your real name thread and saw the name I was going to be called if I had been born a girl.

I wondered if how many other people actually know what their name would have been if they had been born the opposite gender?

If I was a girl my name would have been Charlotte

Ben_Copland · 10/05/13 - 13:23

Stevie-lee, which is my younger sisters name

blueblade · 10/05/13 - 13:23

They would have called me "Hannah"

annette kurten · 10/05/13 - 13:24

probably mark, it`s my younger brother`s name.

If I was a boy I would've been called Cain

No offence to anyone with that name, but lets just say I'm glad I was born a girl.

d0lphin · 10/05/13 - 13:35

I would have been Alan.
My sons would have been Rachel and Victoria.

My mum was always convinced that I was going to be a girl so she never even considered any boy names. Lucky for me she was right.

My son is Samuel but would have been Samantha if I'd had a girl. We wanted a 'Sam'!!

My parents were told that I was going to be a boy so they picked out the name Andrew for me, all set to go when I should pop out and I was definitely not an Andrew! Luckily they had a girls name they liked before so they used it!

I would have been called Leela if I was a girl.

Hogzilla · 10/05/13 - 15:11

Marmaduke. No kidding. My dad loved that name. Although I do kind of have the female equivalent. Ah and my middle name, which he chose, is his name so I do have a bloke name anyway. Forgot that.:o

rehab_101 · 10/05/13 - 15:17

I would have been a James

trinity2002 · 10/05/13 - 15:24

I would have been called Gavin and my mum liked it that much my sister would have had that name too.

biscuitfactory · 10/05/13 - 15:27

I was going to be called Lloyd,after my mum's first love ( not my father :eek:)

AndyLouPandy · 10/05/13 - 15:30

I was going to be named Shaun Patrick, weirdly enough I ended up marrying a Shaun Patrick!!

Sarah.1987 · 10/05/13 - 15:31

I was going to be called Jamie-Lee if I was a male. Thank god I wasn't.

Miss XYZ · 10/05/13 - 15:43

My Dad wanted me to be called Kevin. :eek:

Scott Cheg · 10/05/13 - 15:45

Ashley, which is good as its one of my favourite girls names. I'd have been a right tease, and spent a lot of time locked in my room

vosne · 10/05/13 - 15:46

Matilde.

But then that is my name. Wait ....... wot?

Thats a girls name isn't it?!! :eek:

They already have four boys, so they were deciding between Shinya, Shintaro and Shinjiro before I was born.

The kanji they wanted to use for 'Shin' means 'new or fresh start' or 'renewed belief'. Yeah, I was created to save their failing marriage. The worst solution possible because my arrival had basically destroyed whatever left of that marriage.

If i'd been a boy I would have been Clifford Richard John - guess who my mum was a fan of?

offtotheraces · 10/05/13 - 16:14

I've asked my mother this in the past and she said it would have been something traditional, like David.

I'm fine with that as I much prefer traditional names.

So instead your name is Devil Woman, right?:D;)

collit · 10/05/13 - 16:21

I would've been Ruth.

DianaFire · 10/05/13 - 16:28

I'd have been named after the grandfathers, in that case, so it would've been Getty or Thomas, or both. I quite like Getty as a name.

Hey there!
