My head hurts me so much that I want to cry. Fuck this.
My porn/drag/stripper name of choice is Baba Ganouche. Which I think goes pretty well with my sister's online pseud, but hers is just a Jamaican town name.
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

My mom was named after her grandmother (traditional in Irish families), but got saddled with another family name for her middle one which she really hates, Agnes. I believe Dad was named after a family member in his dad's side in Sweden, and he also got a family name from his mother's side for a middle one, Albert.

My father was named after two astronomers. I gotta say, pretty random for a small-town Jamaican boy. He goes by neither. He uses his mother's surname as his first name.

Because books.
Sara was named both for my mom, whom I adore, and for Sara Crewe. Her middle name, Grace, is mostly for the grace note she is to our family, and because, uh, it sounds pretty.

I've always had psuedonyms, pen-names and stage names. They change over time, but I'm always planning them.

Oh, the SO was named after an astronaut! We always tell him he got lucky, it could have been Buzz.

I always thought that if I had a daughter, I'd name her Alicia Marie, after both of my grandmas (Alice and Mary, who was better known as Mae).

My mother's middle name is (spelling unsure and definitely not the same as her namesake) Delores Delrio. I have no idea what small town Jamaica was doing at that time, but it was sure cracktastic. But she beats out her sister Gillette, I think. Two of her brothers got off pretty timelessly and normally (Philip and William) but nobody calls them that, so it doesn't count. Well, nobody calls any of them what they were christened. But in Gillette's case, it's clear self defense.

Last year, I saw a tv movie about Apollo 11 in which James Marsters played Buzz Aldrin. I thought that casting was a bit strange until last night, when I watched this week's ep of the PBS history of NASA. Marsters looks a lot like the young Buzz!

My god, I've just about convinced myself to update the family tree. Sheeit. I don't need that.
