My mom wanted to name me Leslie, but my dad was out mowing the lawn and when he came back in he told my mom the idea that had popped in his mindand she thought it was too beautiful to refuse (Kristine Danielle and my initials are the same as my dad's: KDR). My dad, sisters' and I all have names beginning with 'K'. My mom is lonely Even my older sister's boyfriend's name, which is usually spelled with a C, is spelled with a 'K' (Karl). So, since there's that whole fad, my mom has placed a silent 'K' on the beginning of Nick's name so it fits in with the rest (My mom's name is Louise, by the way).

My parents wanted me to be called Jennifer Mary, but I was born premature and my dad made a mistake on my birth certificate...my name is acutally Mary Jennifer. I go by Jennifer tho, it's normal for catholics to have a saint's name first.

My dad, brother, and I all have names that begin with "M" and my mom is left out, too. But we just say its Michael, Michelle, Matthew, and Mom. And our last name is an "M" as well (or it was until I got married). I was named after my dad. Michael --> Michelle. When I was in high school, he found out about the name Michaela and he wanted to change my name. Instead, we named the new dog Michaela.

For school, I either procrastinate until the very last minute or I finish it ASAP when assigned. Rarely is there something in between.

I'm gonna go back to the name thing, because I think that was kinda interesting. Not that the other stuff was uninteresting;) The names in my family aren't like at all. At least not planned. Only a couple of years ago me and my eldest brother Johannes found out that Johannes and Hanna means practically the same in Hebrew, but other than that there's nothing. My other older brother is named Odd Sverre and foreigners always think that's funny because, well Odd:) When he and his friend Bård (pronunced Bored) went to England they had a blast. And just so my younger brother won't feel left out, I'll mention that his name is Eyvind.

My mom wanted me to be named Sarah, but my aunt beat her to it and named my cousin Sarah. So Sarah is my middle name, which is good because I don't really like the name Sarah. (No offense to any Sarahs.) However, I'm aware that I might feel different about the name if it was my first name.
