Chatty discussion

I was thinking about Imageseer's name (other post) and I started to wonder, what's in a name? Would I be different if I had been given a different name? I was supposed to be Elizabeth but my name was shorted to Eliza before I was born. I wonder if I would grow up as a different person. your take? How much influence, if any, do you think your name had in who you are today?

I was born three months early. In the hospital I was named Meaghan. When I survived, my name was changed to Mckenzie. Not even remotely similar, but I can't imagine being a Meaghan today.

wow three months? why so premature? and why cant you imagine being a Meaghan?

i cant see my self as an Elizabeth, the name is to hoity toity and Im anything but. im your jeans, tee, and comfy socks type of girl. ( tho i wear heels to school almost everyday :oS )

I just don't think Meaghan fits me. I'm Mckenzie. Meaghan is too refined or something. I dunno. And yeah. Three months. Crazy, I know. My mother just went into premature labor, and they couldn't stop it, and they almost lost us both. Miracles.

PS I like Eliza. It's fun and carefree.

So my name, Imageseer, has sparked the new thread...lol, so what does this name conjure up? I would agree that names are significant.

lol well when you said your art was on that site I started trying to match your face to a name. And it's funny how you associate faces with names. She's a Janet, he's a Tom, etc. As for Imageseer, it def sounds artistic, and maybe a little crazy. hehehe I see images! but yeah, just the ability to see things others might overlook.

Thanks, Mckenzie. And Mckenzie always sounded adventrerous to me. If I was a butt-kicking chick in a badass western, I would be named McKenzie! And Im soooo jealous of your fab red hair!

You're too funny Eliza...I may be a little crazy, but in a good way(consider the source, lol). I thought of the name of McKenzie as kind of a woman who could kick some butt...maybe because it was originally more masculine. Eliza seems to say 'funny loving' and easy going.

I've never cared for my name, but I can't imagine being anything else.

It is a lovely name, spunky and beautiful...but with a 'red' streak, lol :)

Thanks. That's nice of you to say. I guess it works with my red hair.

don't forget spunky and beautiful...the 'red streak' was an attempt to be funny...

You are too nice. Thank you.Hey, I'm linking your site on mine.

how nice...take care!

lol Ignatius! Well my younger brother was born in Roma, TX and my dad, the history teacher, named him Romulus Remus soooo yeah *chuckles*. We called him Remus at home and his friends called him Romulus at school.
