Naming convention
My name story is a little bit interesting and a little bit cute. Let me tell you a super-short story:
My father was Leonard Golosa.
My mother's maiden name was Elizabeth Leonard.
Had I been a boy I would have been named Leonard Golosa Jr.
But I wasn't.
My Mom vetoed Elizabeth Golosa Jr. because she hated some of the nicknames that accompanied Elizabeth and refused to saddle her daughter with them.
My Dad vetoed Leonard because they might still have a boy and he wanted to name his first boy as his Jr.
So, in the fine spirit of "creative compromise" I'm the one and only Leonara Elizabeth Golosa.
That's as far as I know, anyway. There might be others, but I've never encountered one.
