Friday Five

1. Is the name you have now the same name that's on your birth certificate? If not, what's changed? It's the same, except for my last name, since I got married.

2. If you could change your name (first, middle and/or last), what would it be? Oh, I don't think I'd want to change it. I had only one condition about my name when I was much younger... I wanted to marry a man whose last name started with an S so my initals (S.A.S.) wouldn't change. I also said I was going to marry a man with blonde hair and blue eyes. Of course, i didn't have my husband in mind whe I said all these things, I didn't even know if he existed, but my predictions at the ripe old age of 11 all came true.

3. Why were you named what you were? (Is there a story behind it? Who specifically was responsible for naming you?) I don't know if there's a story behind Stephanie. I think it just went well with my sister's name, Stacey. My middle name, Ann, came from my grandmother. She wasn't named anything close to Ann, but I guess people used to call her that all the time. When I was younger, I went by Annie, which anyone who's read my 100 things would know.

4. Are there any names you really hate or love? What are they and why? Uh... of the top of my head, I can't think of a single one. Sorry.

5. Is the analysis of your name at kabalarians.com accurate? How or how isn't it? Well, let's see...
Your name of Stephanie gives you a very idealistic but passive outlook on life. You desire culture and all the refinements of life but you are inclined to live in your dreams. Although you would like to do many things, procrastination undermines your accomplishment and success in life. You do not like to create issues and will do anything to avoid a conflict. Making decisions is difficult for you without the support and approval of others. This name gives you a very sensitive nature, making you feel much that you do not understand. Your feelings are easily hurt, at which times you are inclined to withdraw and become uncommunicative. Although you desire the friendship and association of others, you find it difficult to express your thoughts through the spoken word, and others find you hard to get to know. It is much more natural for you to express your deeper thoughts in writing. Inner tension can deplete your physical vitality.

Overall, it's fairly accurate. There are some things that don't apply, but some are dead on. What do you think? I'd like some third party perspective on this one.
