Do you like the Christian or first names your parents gave you?

Would you class it as disrespectful to your parents to say that you don’t like your names?

Are family traditional names involved in your naming?

Neither my first nor my middle names are ones that I would have chosen for myself - but I've had 71 years to get used to them. My mother didn't have a middle name - but my father had to contend with the middle one of "Moses", after some ancestor. He HATED that! 🤗

@Stephie Wasn't that Jesus?

@ArtieKat oh boy, you did not listen to religion classes did you? You probably played hooky.

Just to recap what you missed:

Jesus waked on water while Moses parted the waters and walked on the dry.

@Stephie Yes, of course. The Red Sea

@ArtieKat At least you remember the name of the place. All is not lost then.

@Stephie I've floated in the DEAD sea! 🤣

@ArtieKat all non swimmers do. The swimmers take the plunge.
