My mom wanted to name me Jameson (Jame-eh-son). Gay.

Seeing that my dad was name Mario, as well as my grandfather, I pretty much was going to be named Mario nonetheless.

But if I was a girl, my name would've been Maria.
My moms name is Maria.

I have the world's most uncreative parents. It almost rival's Mario's story.

My older brother's name is John. Yes. That is right. Our names are Jane and John. He was supposed to be named Jane if he was a girl. If I was a boy, I was supposed to be named Thomas James. My father's name is James Thomas.

Oh well. If my mother had had her way my name would be Heather Anna right now *shudders*.

Haha, my brother is named Scott.

Mine's Bryan, but since my parents had just moved to Texas before I was born, well, finding it really amusing that lots of people have double names, they told everyone they were going to name me Bubba Chuck.

Good lord... That would have been awful. Not a big fan of Bryan, but it sure as hell beats Bubba Chuck.

Sad thing is, people believed them and took them seriously - or so they say.

Mine was the only option they thought of.

I did, however, want to name my little sister "Meat". Tongue

I was going to be called Rebecca. I was this close. But my parents didn't listen to my sister and called me Harriet- which I'm only just getting used to. Kind of suits me though. Lots of Harriets in Jane Austin's books, and seeing as I live near her house, and have the Jane Austin ringlets, it worked well I guess.

If I was a guy, I could of been- Oliver or Robert(my grandfather's name). Pretty English really.

I'm named after the singer (that no-one's heard of!) Ruby Turner (not ruby wax! so hush!). my parents had a long long list of really unpronouncable GAY indian names for me like jaswinder, pinder, etc blah, so i'm glad i got my name cuz it's quite international. i like me name.

it's quite odd though cuz my brother's got quite an indian name...maybe i was born the outcast?! lol

sadly, i do. my father wanted to name me adolphe maximillian to honor a friend of his. i don't believe that for a minute. anyone else hear the hobnails on cobblestones?

in the event that i had been a girl, my mother thought krystal ann or lorella would have been fine names. nobody, please, nobody choose these names. the first one, ok, well, if you're going to be a country singer. the second, you'd have to be a fan of edgar allen poe.

snow, know any dereks? that's pretty anglais, too.

I know someone who changed his name to Malachi Wolf. Well, I know him through a friend, or more accurately through the sister of a friend.

And just for the record, I _can_ yell really loud. Perhaps that is my hidden superpower!

Also Sean Patrick Flannery is HOT. But not in that movie so much.

I have another superpower...electronice and motor-controlled devices constantly misfunction when I am around. I have had 2 cars that I am riding in start on fire. Any car I own, or regularly ride in, needs the engine rebuilt once a year. The TVs and radios in my house come on at random times.

The government should pay me to go over to Iraq and see if I could make Saddam's car spontaneously combust.

My mom came seriously close to naming me Cosmo. She saw it in her baby book, laughed at it, referred to me as Cosmo jokingly until she was so used to it it wasn't a joke anymore. Luckily, my dad talked her into Dustin. Only good thing the man ever did for me.
