My parents told me they were going to name me Bonnie. I'm so glad they didn't!! Dh' parents were a little more unique and were going to name him wolfgang but then they changed their minded and decided to name him Freedom...yep, Freedom. His grandparents stepped in and prevented that one by saying they wouldn't loan them the money for the adoption if they were going to name a child that. So what were you almost named?

They were going to name me either Megan, Erin or Allison. They went with Erin. Yes. We are Irish.

Ash Le (Lee) or then it would have been Ash Leigh. Instead of just being Ashleigh and having a middle name the Leigh part would have been the middle name. But then she settled on Amy Leigh.
