Friday Five - What's in a Name?

1. Is the name you have now the same name that's on your birth certificate? If not, what's changed? It is exactly the same name as on my birth certificate.



2. If you could change your name (first, middle and/or last), what would it be? I can change my name, but I don't want to.



3. Why were you named what you were? (Is there a story behind it? Who specifically was responsible for naming you?) I've been told that before I was seen I was going to be named something else. I was adopted and my parents had the name Sandra picked out for me, but once they saw me they said "she doesn't look like a Sandra" so my name became Susan. I think possibly it came from my Aunt Pat (Patricia Susan)?



4. Are there any names you really hate or love? What are they and why? I dislike names like Destiny, Star, and Tomorrow because the parents are trying to sound "new agey" or cool or something and really they are not.



5. Is the analysis of your name at kabalarians.com accurate? How or how isn't it? Not even close!



"Your first name of Susan has given you a pleasant, easy-going, friendly nature. (That's about the only statement here that is correct!)Personal contacts are important to you. In situations where you are serving others, demonstrating or instructing, you have the patience (NOT!) to go into details (I do like to get all the details that others miss) that someone else may not think to be important. In your association with others, you are often limited to the more mundane happenings and little personal problems that can be so frustrating to those of an active, dynamic nature. You desire to create system and order in your environment but are inclined to become side-tracked and socialize (I do not have a tendency to socialize in favor of getting work done...this is in no way a problem for me!) when you should be working. Your ambitions are not large, as you lack confidence (I do not have a confidence problem, matter of fact, it may be just the opposite.) in your own abilities and would sooner not take a chance. You are often at odds with yourself, knowing what you should do, but finding it hard to find the initiative and will power to do it. Liking to plan and think ahead, you do not act impulsively and do not like to have your plans or routine interfered with. You seek the advice of others when making a decision (I find that others can sometimes complicate things more!) and prefer to work for others, rather than carry the full responsibility yourself. No one can do things better and more time efficient than me! Nope, this is definately NOT an accurate analysis! This name limits imagination and vision."



Thanks to Friday Five for the questions this week!
