All this talk about names has got me thinking.... Does anybody know the name there were going to be given if they were the other sex, or what name was you going to give your kids if they were the opposite sex. Mine was Caysey. (Spelt like that!) Bad huh?

Seeing as my younger sister is called Patricia I presume that would have been my name, I was born in 1950 and David was most popular boys name that year presume it was after David Niven Davex

Just put this on the other one! Charlotte would have been Jamie if she was a boy, Jamie would have been Nicola (Xmas baby) if he had been a girl. Don't think my parents had a boy's name - mum would probably have sent me back if I'd been a boy! Dad wanted to call me Sylvia though .... Maz. XX

My older sister wanted me to be called Catherine and I presume if I was born a boy I'd have been called Robert (father, gt.grandfather and gt.gt.grandfather) or James (gr.father, gt.grandfather, gt.gt.grandfather). Still think Vivienne is enough for anyone! LOL Viv
