[quote=Anonymous]Some people are comfortable in their own skin from day 1. Very lucky people. :) Many (most?) are on a journey to find their real selves, someone who wasn’t named and shaped and molded by their parents, who had possibly very different ideas about what they wanted in a child. I dropped my middle name. That was a better representation of how I viewed myself. I was the only person in the family not named after someone. Names mean a lot to me. So to me there was no need to keep a frivolous middle name. Gone. Might sound bizarre to others. It just felt right to me. Your family member may be doing something similar. We all have different ways of seeking self awareness, and this may be her way. [/quote]
