the opposite sex.............do you know what your name would have been ?

Apparently , had I have been a boy I would have been Andrew Douglas ( Andy instead of Mandy......lol ).

We used to poke fun at my Dad sometimes and call him Dulsie Mary ( the name he would have got had he been a girl ).

Do you know which name your parents had chosen for you , had things turned out differently ?

Amanda : )

lol Pet..........she didn't have one called Paul as well did she ?

I would have been Terence Douglas John...

Stephen

After me Dad and Grandad and gt grandad ...John Joseph

i would have been called roger... ever so pleased i am a girl ...lol

Maybe not Pet....but I quite like the traditional names myself : )

Well you would have raised some eye brows if you where " Roger by Starlight " Stella........lol : )

wouldn't i just...pmsl

have big ears too, so i would have been "roger rabbit"

lol Stella.........well I have overly large hands , so would have been Handy Andy no doubt..........lol

My parents wanted to call me either Peter or Heather but my Nan decided I was a girl called Susan long before I was born! Everyone was so used to calling the bump Susan that when I was eventually born the name stuck.
I like the name but wish it hadn't been quite so popular for a few years.

My Dad did eventually end up with two sons-in-law called Peter so that was odd.

Sadly I got the name whichever sex I was born , of course they wanted a boy!

Hello Amanda,

I would have been John, not very inventive but nice!

I was adopted,and if I had been a boy I would have been Douglas!!!!!!!!I was a girl as there were no boys available!!
I notice a couple of other possible Douglas 's !!Glad I was a girl.My Birth name Helen but was then changed.

My mum, as my dad was abroad when I was born, only chose 2 names, so mine would have been the same whether female or male

thankfully I was born female, dread to think the stick I would have taken in school, considering where I came from lol

Well, considering my two brother's names - I'm glad I was a girl!! However I was named after my gran's sister who died aged 4, so going on that theory I would have been either Arthur or Edwin - one a brother of grans who died at a few days old, the other one was killed in the war.

My Mum's favourite boys name was always Paul so i guess that is what i would have been called, not sure of the second name though, they didn't go in for family naming.

i was always going to be a girl

mum knitted everything in pink

choose my name

it never occured to her i might be a boy!

if dad had had his way i would have been Michelle though

Beverley jane

My mum's Irish so it would have Rossin.
My late father was Welsh so it would have been Carys.
I must have been a dissapointment

Hiya Amanda....My mum was obsessed with having a boy and I was going to be David William...
