Hey,

I've noticed a lot of people coming up with different names, before they finally settle on a certain one. I think its actually everyone that does this lol. The funny thing is tho, some names parents love are really bad! my mom wanted to name me Ariadna. Hearing it now, makes me think of spiders (arachnia) Luckily my dad suggested Elizabeth,and she liked that one. My DF's parents wanted to name him Erskine. It's a family name, but luckily his sister pointed out that he would get teased incredibly at school being named Erskine, and they decided on Gregory.

I don't mean to upset anyone with this, i just think its funny. to think of what we could have been named :)

I don't know of any other girl names my parents were thinking about, but if I would have been a boy, my name would've been Adolph. Whew!

The only names I know were on the list were Ileen (sp?) and Janelle... I'm glad I didn't get that one.

Well I was born near Christmas and my mom had considered naming me Holly Noelle. That would have been a bit too much. Luckily my older brother told her she had to name me Krista Lynn (the other name she was considering) because he had already told all of his friends that was going to be my name. Krista still ties into Christmas. If I were a boy I would have had my little brother's name Brett Alan.
