Discussion Names your parents almost gave you

[xi0]

My mother wanted to name me Rhiannon (after the Stevie Nicks song) and my dad was okay with it, but they ended up going with Katherine (a character from a romance novel. Is it any wonder that I now love romance novels??)

Your parents had really nice taste either way

I looked up my first and last name online, and I am surprised that there a lot of people with that combination. I suddenly feel a lot less original.

I was about to be Emily, but the nurse said there were a lot of girls with that name in the year I was born. My Japanese name could have been Chizuru.

If my brother was a girl, his Japanese name would have been Nagise; my mom was thankful he was a born a boy.
