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

[Queen of Poop]

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
