My parents were having so much trouble trying to agree on two names that they decided just to agree on one that worked for a boy or a girl. I don't think they realized how popular Jessica was/would be.

My plans for the weekend are a possible date tonight, a massage tomorrow, and lots of staying inside. And then family Sunday dinner, per usual.

I was supposed to be Rebecca until my mom had one in the second grade class she was teaching who was apparently the devil's own spawn. I think Amy was just because they liked it, but my middle name, Elizabeth, is for my great-grandmother. I was her first great-grandchild.

I don't know exactly how my name came about, just that my parents had a choice between two starting letters based on the lunar cycle or whatever. I forget what the other one was.

I was wondering if "Polter-Cow" was a family name, or what.

How did your parents pick your name?

After my sister was born, my parents had tons of people come up and say, "oh, I have a sister/brother/friend/great uncle twice removed named [sister's name]", so they decided to find a name that was unusual enough for that not to happen.

Then they discovered the new president of my dad's university was also named Lee.

I was supposed to be named Michael David, but that didn't pan out. They named me after no one - just two names they liked. Apparently, my father was pulling for the name Nel, but he was overruled. I was born in Argentina, and the hospital wanted to shave my head (sanitary reasons, is what I'm told) and pierce my ears (cultural norms); they, too, were overruled. My mother - refined but mighty.

3/4 idiot? I mean, he's asking for over a mil because of not enough sex. Even if it was legal, I'd still think he was stupid.

I'd say 9/10. Just not totally stupid in calling the cops.

I was named after a friend of my mother's. If I had been a boy, I would have been Robert, after my grandfather.

I was going to be Jane, but after I was born my mother switched to Antonia, after a friend of hers. Neither name fits with the general Irish-Catholic theme that my 6 siblings names fall into. My middle name is my mother's first name, Ruth. 6 daughters and I'm the 3rd in line and somehow I get stuck with her name. Not sure why. It always made me feel singled out.

Ironically, I am the most like her, at least in health matters of the 7 of her children.

My father's middle name was Graham. I decided that if I ever needed a stage name, pen name, or alias, I would go by Jennifer Graham. Huh. Well, I guess I just blew the alias part.

ION, given that she parked her car sideways, how did Prince know that meant it wouldn't last?
