Friday Five
Time for another Friday Five, a couple of days late thanks to my Austin trip.
1. Is the name you have now the same name that's on your birth certificate? If not, what's changed?
Yep, it's the same
2. If you could change your name (first, middle and/or last), what would it be?
I can't think of any changes offhand.
3. Why were you named what you were? (Is there a story behind it? Who specifically was responsible for naming you?)
Damned if I know. Ask my mom. I know that my middle name -- Andrew -- was for someone in my great-grandmother's family. And since I wasn't egotistical enough to name my first-born after myself, I gave him my middle name instead (a fact he just recently discovered).
4. Are there any names you really hate or love? What are they and why?
Names I particularly hate include Caitlin, Jordan, Taylor and Ashley. They're all too goddamned trendy. Emma's trendy too, but I feel like Bonnie and I have avoided the curse by giving her a really unusual (albeit traditional) spelling: Emmeline.
5. Is the analysis of your name at kabalarians.com / triggur.org / astroexpert accurate? How or how isn't it?
All a bunch of bullshit. Though Triggur.org is probably closest to the truth. ;)
