My name was almost.............

I was also believed to be a boy...so my folks where going to name me Anthony Victor. Not sure why Anthony, but Victor was my Nonno's (grandpa in italian) name. When I came out a girl, they were a bit confused and I was nameless for a few hours. My dad came up with Tracy Victoria. Not sure why Tracy, but the Victoria thing makes sense.

My dad took my mom to the hospital in Winnipeg to have me during a blizzard. I almost ended up being called Blizzard or Stormy. They settled on GAyLE. A big wind with a y in the middle. Thank goodness!!!

I was supposed to be a boy. If I was, my name would have been Anthony Michael (or the other way around, I can't remember). My mom wanted to name me Renee, if I was a girl, but I had a cousin born earlier that year that my aunt named Renee. My mom didn't want 2 of us with the same name. I don't know how they came up with Deborah, though. I think my mom said she got it out of a book.

Then, when I started school, my dad asked me to think about how I wanted to spell my name. He said there were lots of different ways to spell it and showed me a few. He always encouraged me to be different. Hence, the Debby with a y.

If I were a boy, my name would have been Jordan xD
