If I was a boy, I would have been an Andrew or a Geoffrey. I love the name Andrew, and it’s actually my husbands name so that works out lol, but I hate Geoffrey spelled with Geo, but my dad’s name is George so that’s why.

I don’t think they has another girl name for me, but I do know if they had another daughter they would have named her Mallory, and that’s just awful - so 80s and reminds me of a duck (mallard) lol

In the words of Carrie Bradshaw, I couldn't help but wonder...

Life is full of sliding doors moments and one I always think about if everything would be different if my parents went with their alternate name for me: Hannah. Would my life have been easier, or would it have been more difficult as a Hannah? Do I look more like a Hannah? Would Hannah have been a totally different person, or would everything remained pretty much the same?

Do you know what other name(s) your parent(s) picked out for you? Are you relieved they didn't choose it, or do you think it actually would have been a good name for you? 

What other name(s) did your parent(s) have picked out for you?
