My dad wanted to name me Shirley, my mom wanted Sarah...but my grandmother absolutely wanted a grandchild who had the name of her own mother, so I was named Lydia...I'm not too fond of it, I would have liked Shirley better, sounds badass.

I was going to be Louise, then when I was born I didn't look like a Louise. My auntie suggested Christine and my Grandma suggested putting an a on the end. So I am called Christina. And so ends the most boring story ever told.

They tossed "Dean" at the last moment because my Dad's boss (very wealthy) had died just a few days before I was born, and Dad wanted to kiss up to his family, so he named me after his dead boss. It worked great, because shortly thereafter, the grieving widow sold dad his dead boss's new Lincoln for practically nothing.

I love that story! It's my favourite.
