What's In A Name?

[cookderosa]

I can't believe I never saw this thread before. It is so much fun I had to read the WHOLE thing.hilarious

I am one of the very unoriginal Linda is my first name Ger the first three letters of my last. I use Lindager or Lindagerr on most of my screen & e-mail names. My husband is billger or willgerr, but my son has the best name he is Danger. and he loves using that with his birth day so if you see danger118 somewhere (mostly on WOW) it is my son.

I would love to see more of our newer members join this thread.

BTW Jennifer I always thought the Cook was because of what you do, that is cool that it was/is your name.

Linda,
I know funny huh? How COULD I possibly drop that?? I read in my social psych class that there is a disproportionate number of people who choose professions tied to their name. Also, street addresses, towns, etc. Ex. Many people named Lawrence are lawyers. There are many doctors who have great last names that were examples tied to their specialties (Dr. Head the neurosurgeon lol)


My maiden name is Cook (I went on to become a chef)
My husband's last name is DeRosa, I always like his name. This name may have appealed to me since my family name is Roseman.
My hubby and I just bought a house with what we thought was a very nice sounding address. The house number 4- the same as the number of children we have and our street name is Deer, the same name as the company my dad and grandpa worked for 35+ years.
Meaningful? No, but fun and quirky.

Your son's name is awesome!
