Erica and I have pm each other after I told her how much I love her name. My real name is Karen Dianne. Mom couldn't think of a middle name to go after Dianne so put Karen in front of it, which I hate. As a little girl, I always wanted my name to be Anita Eileen, for whatever reason. but Erica believes we're named what we are for a reason. What do you gals think?

My oldest son, Chad, decided when he was about 11-years old, that his name should be Michael and insisted we call him that. Lasted about one week.
