I got this idea after reading a discussion about what our names mean. It made me remember that my parents once told me they would have named me King Simon if I've been a boy — and yes, it came from the Bible!
How about you? Do you know what your “other gender” name would’ve been?

My Dad said if I had been a boy, my name would have been Patrick, after his father. I was named after the aunt who basically served as my mother as much as she could, so it worked out the way it was supposed to.

My entire life, my aunt told everyone she knew (and some she didn't) that I was her namesake. It meant a lot to both of us. Thank you.

My youngest brother was named after my dad so I imagine that that would have been my name.
