Goodness, where did March disappear to.

Is the name you have now the same name that's on your birth certificate?
My original surname was Henderson - two marrages later and now its Thompson

Why were you named what you were? (Is there a story behind it? Who specifically was responsible for naming you?) My names are Joan Lucille - - - - - . My mother was named Phyllis Joan and my grandmother was named Lucy Virginia. My mother had wanted to call me Lucy Joan. My grandmother argued against the name and so Joan Lucille was born.

I had always picked out the names of Amanda for a girl and Timothy for a boy. In the days when you had to wait for the birth of a baby before knowing whether it was a boy or a girl, I was in the middle of giving birth to my first and yelling at the nurses that it wwas either Timothy or Amanda. There were no options. When Amanda arrived I "knew" that my second would be a boy. I never picked out a girls name for my second as I was so sure it would be a boy. And so Timothy Francis Ian was born.
