What were you almost named, or what would your name have been if you were the opposite gender? (Inspired by the Middle Name thread)

Was almost Oscar, glad I'm not.

Also, could have been Dell Herreid III. Which would have been boss, oh well.

There is a person at work who nobody could tell for sure if it was a guy or girl. Their name is Jamie which doesnt help things. Turns out its a girl though.

My parents wanted to name me Worthy after former Los Angeles Laker James Worthy

Around the time I was born he was caught with prostitutes and blow in a hotel room and my mom said she didnt want me named after that. . My parents fucked me I think Worthy is such a doper name than jake.

If I was born 1 day earlier I was going to get my grandpas name of Marvin (cause we'd share the same b-days) so my middle name is Marvin....no idea why I was named Alex,

If I was a girl I would have been named Elizabeth according to my mom.

My parents had it narrowed down to Scott, Trent, and Ty... they went with Scott, which I am cool with. I also would have been cool with ty, but I am really glad they didn't pick trent. If I were a girl, I would have been named Alissa
