Ripped off of Xenocidius's new thread (this is what I thought his thread was going to be about).
What's the origin of your given name? Is there a a story behind why your parents chose it? Does it have any special meaning?
Go into as much detail or as little detail as you want -- you don't have to post your real name if you don't want to.
My first name doesn't have any special meaning. The name my dad wanted was super trendy in the 80s when I was born, and it's a really feminine name that frankly doesn't fit me at all. The name my mom wanted was a bog-standard girl's name. They argued about it for weeks before compromising and picking the one I have now, a somewhat rare girl's name. I like it much better than either of the ones they originally wanted, so I guess I got lucky!
My middle name is Anne, same as my mom's.
