9/12/03 – Friday Five: the name edition

A lot has been going on lately so I need something lighthearted to post today. It’s been awhile since I’ve done the friday five so its a perfect morning diversion. I also found it funny that the topic was about names and today’s the feast of Mary’s name! Very appropriate.
1. Is the name you have now the same name that’s on your birth certificate? If not, what’s changed? My first and middle name – Bobbi Ann – are the same but the last name changed 3 1/2 years ago.
2. If you could change your name (first, middle and/or last), what would it be? Four years ago I was fervently praying that my last name would be changed and God answered my prayers! haha! The rest of my name I’d like although I prefer Ann spelled with an “e” (Anne).
3. Why were you named what you were? (Is there a story behind it? Who specifically was responsible for naming you?) The first born of our family, whether male or female, was to be named after my dad Robert, known as Bob. Hence came my name “Bobbi”. My parents weren’t practicing Catholics then but they did think I should have at least a saint’s name along with my first so they combined it to “Bobbi Ann”.
4. Are there any names you really hate or love? What are they and why? I am so glad I was not named Roberta. For some reason I just don’t like that name (on me). My daughter took a name I’ve always loved -Isabella.
5. Is the analysis of your name at kabalarians.com accurate? How or how isn’t it? Is this like a horoscope things? I hope not. Well, I’m not into these general analysis but for the sake of the fun I’ll let you know what they said and make my comments:

Your first name of Bobbi has given you a responsible, expressive, inspirational, and friendly personality. (My responsibility came from being the oldest of 9 children. I am expressive. I hope to be inspirational, even if its “don’t let this happen to you” at times. I think I’m pretty friendly, as long as you’re not bugging me at the moment.)
Expression comes naturally to you and you are rarely at a loss for words (I never have the words at the instant. I am not good at spur of the moment debates. I need to think and ponder. I express myself best in the written word.).
In fact, you have to put forth effort at times to curb an over-active tongue. (It depends on who I am with. I’m sure Brian would sometimes appreciate a little less chatter form me.)
Self-confidence has made it easy for you to meet people and you are well-liked for your spontaneous, happy ways. (I never really thought of myself that way but the other day someone told me that this is just what they thought of me. It was nice to hear. I hope I can be that way.)
You sincerely like people (true) and do not often experience loneliness (except when I’m tired of deciphering Bella’s toddlerese and desire some adult conversation.) ; your work and home-life are likely filled with association. (Yes)
You enjoy music (true) and could have a fine singing voice (Define “fine” or define “voice” for that matter!) however, the study could be somewhat difficult because you do not find it easy to apply yourself to concentrated study for long periods. (Hmm…I’d probably agree more than disagree.)
In this respect, this name is not altogether constructive (Gee, thanks.).
It creates a somewhat scattering (Scattering?) influence which makes it difficult for you to finish what you start. (I thought that was laziness. Well, I’m not to blame! I am just a victim to my name!)
This name brings disappointments and emotional involvements through being too sympathetic and easily influenced. (hahaha! Okay I couldn’t even get through the last line without laughing. Whatever. Personally, I like my name and if there have been any misdeeds in my behavior I take full responsibility. I place no blame on my parents for not naming me the much more respectable “Roberta”.)

Well, that was good for a laugh. Have a blessed weekend! Keep praying, bobbi.
