My parents knew from the beginning that I was going to be a girl (don't ask me why and how they knew), so there was no male name picked for me. In my sister's case, it was the opposite - they expected a boy, and had prepared only the name Miroslav. When my sister was born a girl, they just took the female version of Miroslav and so she became Miroslava. ;)
Well, you know everything about my name change, so I won't bother you with the same story again. I just wanted to add that after that nurse told my parents they had to pick a name from the list for me, my mother wanted to call me Aglika. *shudders* I'm not very fond of my real name, but I'm glad that my father won that battle - my real name is definitely better than Aglika.
