cmdr_zoomFirst, I should note that it is an absolutely beautiful day today. The last two or three have had the first rain and cloudy skies of the season, signalling the beginning of the end(?) of a blazing summer; today it's sunny and bright, but merely warm, with a pleasant breeze. Beautiful. I hope the rest of the weekend is like this.
Now on to the meme:
1. Is the name you have now the same name that's on your birth certificate?
Yes.
2. If you could change your name (first, middle and/or last), what would it be?
Now and then I've thought about using "Kyle Sinclair" as a pen name (the first to remove gender ambiguity; the second because that seems to be the more typical spelling/bastardization), but I haven't yet, and I wouldn't want to change my actual name.
3. Why were you named what you were? (Is there a story behind it? Who specifically was responsible for naming you?)
I was named for my grandfather, last name Kelly, who died before I was born.
4. Are there any names you really hate or love? What are they and why?
I seem to be fond of female names that begin with J - Jennifer, Jessica, Jill, Joelle - and Irish ones... so lyrical. Can't think of any names that I dislike, offhand.
5. Is the analysis of your name at kabalarians.com accurate? How or how isn't it?
The name of Kelly has given you a very imaginative, creative mind. You always have new ideas, but too often they are for an easy way out of a difficulty, or an easy way of making money. You are not inclined to apply yourself consistently to a job and to reach the fulfilment of your goals through perseverance and hard work. The influence of this name has caused you to feel unsettled emotionally and mentally. You are never satisfied with conditions, because your feelings and desires are so changeable. Hence you seek change in order to have the opportunity for travel, new experiences, and new friends and associates. There are people in your association who could influence you unfavourably and thereby mislead you; disillusionment, embarrassment, and bitter experiences then become your lot. You have a very talkative nature and because of it, you could do well in saleswork or in a position where you handle the public. However, you would find any position requiring self-confidence and aggressiveness very trying. You are subject to moods of depression and self-pity, arising in part from a lack of confidence.
I suppose that fits, although I don't think I'm as ambitious or novelty-seeking as it implies; or, if I do seek the new, I also continue to enjoy the old. I'm a creature of hobbit.
