Your Name

[SoonerTexan]

Apparently some musician in the 80s was named my name and my mom liked it. I haven't bothered to look it up.

I actually like my name. I think my parents did a pretty good job with all of us except my sister Courtney. She doesn't like it and doesn't think it fits her. Honestly I agree.

My name was the cool thing to do. My parents are horrible conformists. My brother was named after a saint (Thomas, maiden name is Moore).

My parents were deeply committed to going against the grain tin the early 70s and named all of us really just-off-the-Mayflower type names.

I really, really wanted to be a Jennifer or an Amy when I was in elementary school. All the cool girls were a Jennifer or an Amy. No cool girls had a name from a major character in "The Crucible."

My mom picked my name out of her brothers yearbook

My parents were both school teachers, and had to come up with names that neither of them associated with students they didn't want to be reminded of. I was told at one point that Chamonix was in the running.

Oh man. Real missed opportunity there!

Mine (Laura, but I go by Laurie) also came from a baby name book. Boring story, but I like it.

I know, right? I sometimes wonder just how different my life would be if that was my name.

My parents were those assholes who let the older sibling name the baby. Sis wanted either Jesus Christ or Barbie Doll. Thankfully, they took her to see "Peter Pan" shortly before I was born.

My sister wouldn't budge on Jesus Christ if I'd been a boy, though. My mom couldn't convince her that "Jesus Christ Anderson" would get said like "Jesus Christ, Anderson!"

I want to be in your family.

There's a story to my name but I don't remember it.

My grandmother absolutely insisted that I should be named Eunice. Thankfully, my mother refused. Eunice would not have been invited to the prom.

I like you too much to wish my family upon you. They make me stabby. Pretty sure my mom will devolve back into hysterical crying when we move for the next job.
