Name meme

1. What is your middle name?
Irene. No reason, my parents just liked it.

2. If you had been born the other sex, did your parents tell you what your name would have been?
My mom always said that if epilimnion and I had been boys, we would have been Michael and Thomas, but I don't know which one I would have been.

3. Do you have children and if so, what are their names?
No kids.

4. If you were to ever have a child or more children, what would you name them?
I'm not having any children ever, so I've never thought of any names. I do have a piece of advice for prospective parents of twins, though. Do not under any circumstances give them cute, rhyming names. They will end up being called by the other one's name often enough. Hving the names sound alike would only make it worse. My mother wanted to name us Sharon and Karen, but luckily, my dad stepped in and vetoed that. Whew.

5. Most people know their mother's maiden name, but do you know your grandmothers' maiden names?
Schmidt for the maternal grandmother. Don't know about Dad's mom.

6. Did you have an imaginary friend as a child?
No. I have a twin sister, so I had no need of imaginary friends.

7. What was the name of your first pet?
Breezway, a cat. Because that was the part of the house he lived in.

8. What was the name of the first person you ever kissed?
I only refer to him as "scumboy". Need I say more?

9. What was the name of the school you attended as a child?
P.S 114 (I think. It was in Clifton, NJ, and I only attended kindergarten there for about 6 weeks before my family moved to CT.); Quaker Hill Elementary School (extra points if anyone besides epilimnion and anacrusis know where Quaker Hill is).

10. What was/is the name of your English teacher(s) in high school?
Mrs. Giordano; Mrs. Devanney (sophomore and senior years); Mrs. DiMaggio (a brilliant woman).

11. Do you name your vehicles? What are the name(s)?
I don't have any vehicles, and never have. But my Dad's red Volvo was named Gypsy.
