1. Is the name you have now the same name that's on your birth certificate? If not, what's changed?
My name is not the same by a factor of four. Yep. Four. I've been married four times. I have the marital sensibilities of an impulse shopper. I am a sucker for a fixer upper.
To be fair, I can't say that about the GM1. He was a keeper as is the moment I met him. All right, yes, some minor template tweaks.....
2. If you could change your name (first, middle and/or last), what would it be?
I'd change my first name, which is actually my first and middle name run together. I'd like to have an androgynous name like Cooper, or an exotic name like Princess Hummingbird On Toast.
In high school, my name was apparently "hey bitch". Now it's not a name, it's a title.
3. Why were you named what you were? (Is there a story behind it? Who specifically was responsible for naming you?)
My birth father's name was Lee, and my aunt's name is Ann, thus... LeeAnn. My mom wanted to name me Samantha Josephine, mainly because she had idealistic visions of herself in pearls and an apron, leaning decorously from the kitchen door, calling "Sammy Jo! Your apple pie is ready!"
In actuality, we were called to dinner by my mom throwing dirt clods at us to get our attention while we hid in the bushes and ignored her demands to "come eat this broccoli and leeks casserole RIGHT NOW! NOW! NOOOOOOOW!"
4. Are there any names you really hate or love? What are they and why?
I love the names Emily and MaryMargaret. I loathe the name Danny. No reason for the first, and all the nasty memories in the world reason for the latter.
5. Is the analysis of your name at kabalarians.com / triggur.org / astroexpert accurate? How or how isn't it?
The Kabalarian analysis says this:
" Your name of Leeann gives you the desire to understand and to help others but, at the same time you can become too involved in their problems and, as a result, worry too much. You desire a home and family of your own and have the ability to create understanding and harmony in family association as you are pliable, forgiving, and tactful. You love children and would not hesitate to care for any children who might need you. Whenever possible, you avoid argument and turmoil because you prefer not to face an issue if it means hurting anyone's feelings. You shrink from sordidness and poverty because you feel very deeply for anyone in unfortunate circumstances. Though you recognize your responsibilities, you are inclined to put things off until you are forced to take action. If given the opportunity, you could develop musical and artistic abilities. "
I ought to just line by line destroy this analysis, but let me sum up: I become too involved because I am a nosy, controlling brat. I love children mainly with some fava beans and a nice chianti. I avoid turmoil face to face but I write an excellent scolding letter if needs be. I can't carry a tune in a bucket.
Triggur.org did a bit better:
LeeAnn: From the Italian root meaning "Licker of Toads"
LeeAnn is a stinking kleptomaniac.
LeeAnn would not be a good candidate to babysit your children.
LeeAnn is a genetic freak of nature.
LeeAnn is deceptively warm and endearing.
LeeAnn will turn on you in an instant.
LeeAnn could use some penicillin.
LeeAnn can be apathetic to a fault.
LeeAnn hates dealing with the details.
This made me homesick as it's all family reunion talk.
And the AstroExpert got way too moonbat and I ceased to maintain interest.
I did the Fri5 and then retracted it from my site after I picked wayyyyyy too much psychological lint from my navel.
Names. Fucked up, huh?
Posted by: Jeff at September 13, 2003 08:27 AMInteresting. I thought for sure that you were named after Lee Majors and Ann Margaret.
Posted by: Da Goddess at September 13, 2003 09:49 AMI wish it was a Majors/Margaret production... I'd have those bionic boobs I've always wanted.
Posted by: LeeAnn at September 13, 2003 03:57 PMI gave up navel lint for Lent.
I couldn't wait for actual Lent to use that line, sorry.
