Good morning Member

Hello, GrayViners! Hope you’re having a good day. 🌼 I was scrolling through social media earlier and came across a simple question that made me pause: What was the name you almost had? It took me right back, because I was supposed to be named Victoria before my parents changed their minds. It made me wonder how many of us have an almost-name story. Did your parents have a backup picked out? Or did your children nearly end up with a different name? I’d love to hear your stories! Join the conversation in the forum. 😊
