As a child I had a friend named Bailey. I remember asking my Mom when I was about 5, why she hadn’t given me a pretty name like Bailey. Haha! What first name would you have given yourself?

Actually, I like my name and all the different renditions of it.

Well, Curly and Larry were already taken, so I ended up as Mo.

There was a time when I wished I had a more unique name. I am Thomas Michael. Both very common names. When we named our first born we gave him three names Michael Thomas Lemuel (Mickey TenderLove was his stranger test) Our first born daughter was also granted three Amanda Lee Janet (MandiLeeJay was her stranger test) All named after our families. My other two were named Christopher Thomas (TopherJoe his stranger test) and Joseph Robert (JoeyBoBob his stranger test) It was round about the time I started loving myself that my name became my favorite. Took me about 50 years but I finally came to grips with it. Still, only a lover can call me Tommy and get away with it.

Out of spite, my Mother named me after my Father's last girlfriend before they were married. You can foretell the destiny of that union. I feel like a Jagger :-)

But my father was a joker who provided my middle name Miya. So I am Janet Miya Darling. Not joking.

My parents couldnt agree on names they picked out for me: April Meredith Stephanie Blythe I never met anyone with my name until 7th grade.. Same initials as well.. As I grew up, I began to appreciate the uniqueness of my name. I love the rhythm of it.
