What would your parents have named you if you'd been a GG?

I've never asked.

Apparently, I was going to be Alexandra. I've always liked that name. I should have picked it as my femme name, but for some reason didn't.

I asked my mom about this one time. She said that after she lost her first child and almost lost the second -- both were pre-mature -- she no longer tried to think of names until she knew we had a good chance to live.

Mom was sure I was to be a girl she told me many times. Margret Mary was to be my name.

My mother had picked out Marie as the name for her daughter. I have taken it as my middle name and have no idea where they got my male name from. It doesn't matter that much anyway.

I think Maria was what they would have named any of us boys if we had been born a girl.. the reason I took Carly was because it is close to my real name..

Crystal.

I never had the opportunity to ask my mom.

I did however go out one Halloween dressed and had a few pictures taken. When I showed her she beamed and handed them to my dad saying, "See what your daughter would have looked like if we had one".
...If they only knew...

Yes, I did. And they said Christina. Not a name I'd have chosen. Oddly, that happens to be the name of the sister of my best friend growing up.

I always wondered what my parents thought of me asking that question.

Kate

I would have been Christine , I like it lot and not sure why I would not have been logically Donna

Having had this discussion with my parents when I started to go by Alys, they decided they would have named me "Alice" after my Godmother. Alys was a sort of modern and unique twist on the name which pleased me and also let my parents have some input~ :3

That our mothers were all prepared to give us girl names! hmmm

I would have been Kathy.
