by Wynper on September 15th, 2009
My name is Wyn but my mother wanted to name me Susan.
I was born in the late 50's and my classmates all had rather run of the mill names like Mary, Sue and Jane. I took a ton of teasing but I love my name and wouldn't trade it for a common name for any amount of money.
by Anonymous on September 15th, 2009

by Dezimae is FINALLY 21 on September 15th, 2009
i was almost named a few things.
my dad thought it would be funny, seeing as our last name is March, to name me April May. and then when i filled out things (last name first) it would be March April May.
and then i was born in December, so my mom thought it would be funny to name me Holly Noel.
and then they liked Karissa Danielle. and that was my name, until a week before i was born and my mom say some movie and decided my name should be Courtney instead.
by B.fife My honesty makes people angry... on September 15th, 2009
My Mom wanted to name me Maxwell Mitchell but my Father didn't want me growing up being called Madmax so instead it became Michael Morgan...The downside to that is that when I was young the only Morgan who was popular at the time was the actress Morgan Fairchild...it was a Lil' rough having the middle name of a girl back in elementary school...Lol
by Naia the Bee on September 15th, 2009
I was named something else - Naiabee; but my father changed it to just Naia because "Naiabee" means "child of the nymph"
by Ironhead on September 15th, 2009
My dad wanted to name me Jesse James....Mom finally put her foot down and would have nothing to do with it.
by Shortqueen on September 14th, 2009
I was almost named Nichole Rene, turned out too many people were naming their daughters Nicole at the time, so it was changed to Rene Nichole.
by Mavericks just doin a flyby on September 14th, 2009

Why not like, Desdemona, Hecate or like, Nina.
by CaptainHarley adores his life penguin on October 26th, 2009
Yes, and I consider myself very, very fortunate that they chose the name I carry instead. Some familiy members wanted to continue the Sr., Jr., III thing, and thought I should be named "Henry Harrison Horn, III." Oh ... my ... God!
by lovestocook on October 26th, 2009
I was suppposed to be Jane. But my expected bday was 12/8 - the Immaculate conception - and was I named Mary. Both are boring so it didn't matter.

I told my mom when she told me this "Do you realize that my Initials would have been KKK?" She did know it, but didn't see the problem in that.
