The Name Game ---> stolen from Lyddy
1. Are you named after anyone? If so, explain.
Kind of. There are two common names in my family-- Julia and Anne. My mom got creative and smooshed them together, creating Juliann
2. Do you have your children's names picked out already? If so, is there any significance?
I should hope so, I have two kids! Andrew Patrick is named after my maternal grandfather, my guardian angel (ask me that story some time!) Andrew Dolinsky. Patrick is a family name as well-- my maternal great grandfather's name was Bernard Joseph Patrick Gerrity. Joseph Steven is named for Joey Tribiani on Friends-- I know, it sounds stupid. Steve and I were discussing boy names one afternoon while walking through ShopRite and I mentioned that I like "Chandler" as a name. He said, "If you'd name the baby Chandler, why not Ross or Joey?" We looked at each other and said, "Joey Ruffing!" Steven is clearly, after DH.
3. If you were born a member of the opposite sex what would your name have been?
I'm sure my mom has told me but I can't remember-- probably Andrew.
4. If you could re-name yourself what name would you pick and why?
I've gotten used to my name. I used to want to be Cassandra but then I learned the classical origin of the name and have since changed my mind.
5. Are there any mispronunciations/typos that people do w/ your name constantly?
All the time. I get Julie (which isn't too big a deal) but also Judy and Julia. People put e's all over my name, e.g. Julieanne, Julianne, Julieann. One time I went into the hospital for surgery and they thought I was male because someone left off an 'n': Julian. People often mispronounce my last name as ROOFING. It's ROUGH-ING damnit!
