If I was I boy I would have no name for the first few hours, they had none picked out. My mom says I'm named after the book legth poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and my dad says he read my name off a gravestone while taking pictures there and thought it was pretty!
I was going to be Joan Lynn. When my dad was visiting my mom in her hospital room after I was born he told her he had a better idea. He said "how about Pamela for her first name and Louise after your (my mom's) middle name. So I became Pamela Louise. I must admit there were many times through grade school that I wished I was Joan Lynn. Pamela was a very RARE name back then and I felt a little odd. It sort of grew on me as I got older, but I definitely prefer Pam. :)
I was planning to name my daughter Kelly. You all may know her (Christiansmommy) as Robyn. Right before her birth my hubby said that the name Kelly reminded him of a bar he passed (Kelly's Bar and Grill) and he wasn't really fond of it at all any more. One day I was watching Captain Noah with my son (it was a children's program in the Philadelphia area). Kids would send their drawings in to him and he would show them on the air and comment on them. One little girl, who sent in a drawing, was named Robin. I thought to myself....."I like that name." I presented it to hubby that night and he did too. We only changed the spelling a bit, changing the *I* to a *Y* and named her Robyn. :)
Haha. Well...
My name is Melanie...If I was a boy, I was supposed to be Joel or Everett(oh god I'm glad I wasn't a boy!!!!) I dunno what it was sposed to be for a girl...maybe Melanie?
My SISTER!! HAHA!!! My dad seriously wanted to name her Scooter! But of course...my mom said NO. She too was supposed to be named Everett or Joel is she were a he. I think she was supposed to be named Michelle if she were a girl...but thats her middle name.
My dad is wierd. Haha.
Oh, and if you were wondering, my grandpa's name is Everett. But my grandma calls him Bud or just "hey you!" haha.
