Lame, uh, I mean "Name" Friday 5

[cherydactyl]

1) Do you like your birth-name? Why? I like my first name okay, because it means "Cherished" in French.

2) If you could change your name to anything else, what would it be? I never thought about it. I'm finding this a weird thing to consider. Names are for convenience in referring to people at the root, and for self-identity and style way too often. The latter is less and less important to me, and for the first purpose anything can do.

3) What names would you consider giving your children? Sorry, I use their initials in my journal on public posts, I'm not going to make an exception for the friday 5. I will tell you some names that I might have used for my kids if things had turned out differently: Ethan, Alexander, Marcus, Kai, Fiona

4) If you had a band, what would you name it, and why? Serendipity

5) Is there a name that you completely hate? Why? Hate? No. Dislike? A few, but mostly because of associations with people that have the name.
