Uhm. Scratch my last post. I asked my mom again and she said I would've been a jr. if I was a boy...which would be Kenneth Wayne Jr. Thank goodness I am NOT a boy. Oh, and she also said Kendra Elizabeth for a girl. Either way, I would've been named after my Dad. Brittany Elizabeth is fine by me!

Is that correct?

(I think the other way sounds more Irish, so probably not. )
Hah yis, well if it's spelt Siobhán (with a fada on the a) I would pronounce it Shih-vaughn, so I guess depending on what your accent is like we probably mean the same thing!!

Either Joy Noelle (I was supposed to be born in December) or some Hawaiian name.
IDK how they even got Nicole...

If I was a boy, then Vincent or some Hawaiian name.

My parents thought they were having one child and were in between on the name "Danielle" (the female version of my father's name Daniel) and Erin (they just thought it was pretty). However, when they found out they were having twins, they named us after a pair of cousins that were very close family friends of ours. (Traci and Gretchen).

My parents wanted Carson or James for a boy.
And Bethany and Amanda for a girl.
They chose neither in the end .


Strength is not to hide your heart because you are too scared to be hurt. Strength is to allow someone to hold your heart in their hands, when you know they could very easily crush it.

a world that sends you reeling
from decimated dreams
you misery and hate will kill us all
so paint it black and take it back
let's shout it loud and clear
defiant to the end
we hear the call!

I was almost a Crystal.


"Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it.
I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote,
“Dear Jim: I loved your card.”
Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it.”
That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything.
He saw it, he loved it, he ate it."

My parents wanted the gender to be a surprise for all 3 of us kids so they had boy and girl names picked out. I was either going to be April (randomly picked from a baby name book) or Jay Bradley after my dad John who goes by his middle name or J. Bradley on forms etc. I kinda wish I had been a boy lol

If I was a girl, which I was, they were always gonna call me Bryden. It's my dad's mum's name, and she was moaning about being to young for grandkids ... it was their apology :P The first girl's middle name was always going to be Louise, which mine is, as it was both my grandmas' middle names.
If I was a boy, either Anthony (grandad was Tony) or David which is now my younger brother's name.

If I was a boy, my parents were going to name me Noah Andrew. I used to hate that name when I was younger and thank my lucky stars I turned out to be female, but I actually quite like it now. All the same, I'm glad I ended up a girl named Kylie. I love my name! I do believe that that was their first choice for a girl. Earlier in the pregnancy, my mom said she wanted to name a girl Daisy, but my nana laughed at her and said, "Like the duck?!" Poor Mom.

'Nieve' was also a back-up for a girl. They ended up naming my sister that. I think it's a beautiful name!

My mum wanted to name me Moloka'i, which I believe is the name of a Hawaiian island, because it's where I was conceived. Her other choice was Summer.

Well originally my mom wanted to name me Tabitha Nicole but then my grandmother (whom she hates) insisted that she name me Margaret (after her) so my mother caved then she met my great grandmother Elizabeth and found that she was really the only nice family member from my dads side so I ended up Tabitha Margaretha Elizabeth Nicole (which is actually funny because in my dads family it is kind of...like needed to have three middle names and I just ended up with them )
But through her entire pregnancy she had hoped for a boy so she picked out the name Anthony Roy if I was born a boy. Interesting enough I want to have three boys and one of them I want to name James Anthony Roy <3 after what she wanted to name me plus the name that I love for a boy. (the other boys I want to name Benjamin Timothy Nathaniel and Perseus Elijah Damian)

My mom wanted to name me Sofia and my dad wanted to name me Jennifer. My mom did not like Jennifer, but my dad really wanted a name for me that started with a J. The only thing they could agree on was Jessica. I really don't like my name, but I'm not sure how I feel about the other two either.

If I was a boy my mom wanted to name my Sky or Tough. I am so glad I am a girl
