As I recently stated, I am in the habit of watching home videos. We have a video in which I am not born yet. But my mom is as big as a house pregnant with me. In the video, my Dad asks my older siblings what they wanted to name me. And I quote, "Zachariah!" Screams Candace, "Mr Tapes!" Pipes in Christian and Christina, and last and certainly least, "Pee Pee Head!!!!!" Shouts Danielle with the utmost zeal. Now me, watching this years later, am mortified. Why? Because 1. I'M NOT A BOY!!! 2. REALLY??? REALLY GUYS??!! 3. I AM NOT A BOY!!!!!
Well thankfully my name is not Zachariah mrtapespeepeeheaded Johnson. Thankfully.
Well my parents came through, and though they named me something boring, I am very thankful that it's sensible. BTW I'm not one of those black people that name their kids something like Antaquisha or Proliantasia or anything like that, so you needn't worry. However, I did recently sign up for Parents.com just so I could look at all their baby names and save them on my profile.....but Im not creepy or anything....(sketchy look)
Your blog is really entertaining ;)
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel. I was almost named Ian and my little sister was almost named Greta. GRETA. Really, what were my parents thinking?
Aren't home videos the best? The things you learn. :) ... I should pull some of those out. You've inspired me.
ReplyDeleteI love home videos! I've had my parents say tons of strange stuff like that....there are all these vidoes of my dad feeding me. it was like a hobby or something. Hahaha,Antaquisha.
ReplyDeleteI was almost Luke....my parents promised me it was after my grandfather....but we all know my mom had a crush on Skywalker.
ReplyDeleteI was almost Garrett, then when my parents found out I was a girl, they thought about naming me Hannah. My mother fought my father and she won with Mariah. Hehe~
ReplyDeleteLove your layout, Janelle! It's totally awesome.
My guy name was so horrible!!! Ugh! But since I'm the eldest child, my siblings didn't try to name me (I can only imagine) but I will leak out that it wasn't English... my Hispanic heritage's only down fall. Thank the Almighty that I was born a girl!
ReplyDeleteGreta was never a real contender.
