I missed a National Day this week. It was "National Change your Name Day". I know there have been people who have changed their names permanently because they hated their given names. I have never really been entirely fond of Joan or Loraine (my middle name) because I thought they were a bit boring and old sounding, but I don't hate them, and given the choice I wouldn't change them because my parents thought enough of them to give them to me. How many times can I say "them"? After having said that, what is it that you love or hate about your name? And given the choice, what would YOU change it to even for a day? Maybe for just a day I would be Colett (my daughter's name) because I have always loved that name, and my middle name would be Michelle. I would be Colett Michelle Marshant spoken with a French accent.
Now it's your turn.
