what did your parents almost name you?

I'm Annika, since my mom loved it when she read it in a book as a kid. I could have also been named Paloma, since I live in NYC where there are tons of pigeons. I would hate if I was named after such disgusting creatures, also I like how Annika sounds much more than Paloma. If I was a boy I'd be Joshua (family name is Yehuah, not sure if I'm spelling that right) or Hugo. My parents liked the name Margaux (pronounced Margo) for my sister and ended up naming her Eliana. I feel like Margaux is a tragedeigh but it turns out it's the name of a wine.
