1. Is the name you have now the same name that's on your birth certificate? If not, what's changed? Techincally yes, I've been married twice but I've never changed my last name legally, though I go by both names. It's all very confusing. Also I was adopted, but it was at birth, si I'm assuming I wasn't given another name...

2. If you could change your name (first, middle and/or last), what would it be? There are lots of names I'd choose, I've always wanted to be a Samantha, or Cassandra of something more interesting and cooler than Rebecca. My middle name is Susan, so the field is wide open there. For a last name I always wanted Collins because of Dark Shadows ;-)

3. Why were you named what you were? (Is there a story behind it? Who specifically was responsible for naming you?) My parents gave both me and my brother standard biblical names, though my brother got my dad's name as a middle name. I'm told my name means enchantress lily. The lily part is cool.

4. Are there any names you really hate or love? What are they and why? I love traditional Irish names (I'm Irish), Siobhan, Sinead, Paige, etc. If I ever would have had a child I would have named her Samantha, though it seems all my friends are using that name, so there will be a lot of Sams in the class of 2016 or so. I dislike silly girly names, like Tiffany or Crystal, or any name that was once a liquor or perfume.

5. Is the analysis of your name at kabalarians.com / triggur.org / astroexpert accurate? How or how isn't it? Ok, astroexpert's analysis makes no frigging sense at all to me. The only thing on triggur.org that wasn't offensive and made sense was "Emotional - Rebecca is a quiet loner". Kabalarians.com was more interesting. Not completely true, I'm not that friendly though I can appear to be when needed. The best line from their analysis is "When asked, you are able to give others good advice that you would probably not follow yourself". That's me in a nutshell, I'm an amateur psychotherapist and the one people always come to for advice. It also nailed half of my health problems "headaches, eye, teeth, or severe sinus conditions", though the other half was inaccurate and it missed my major ones completely...

However, I just put my diminuative name, which I go by normally, Becky, into their site and it gave me a much more accurate description. I'm "positive, self-assertive, and independent" and "creative, inventive, and ingenious in practical matters, such as handicrafts", which are true though I'm not nearly as optimistic as I was when I was younger. I "have many bitter experiences and generally rather unsettled conditions in your life, with little progress and financial accumulation", which is dead on. Also true "You cannot tolerate any domination by others, or circumstances that restrict your freedom and independence. You are inclined to make changes abruptly in your life as an escape from such conditions", I've had many jobs and moved over a dozen times in my life. I'm not a rude or argumentative type, but as the older I get the more I tell people exactly what I think, so this is true "When annoyed or offended, you can be very candid and sarcastic in your speech. Many disruptions in friendship and association have thus resulted. Verbal expression is difficult for you, and you can be forthright in situations requiring delicacy, even though it is not your intention to be." Very interesting...
