That's a great story, and you told it very well. I hadn't really seen a benefit to my essentially unique name before (a double last name will do that to you) but now I can see that there are advantages. Good luck!

Absolutely
Submitted by Jejune on May 22, 2007 - 8:03pm.

It's certainly more pleasant to be named Kristen than say, McUnicornsparklypantslynn, but I had never considered how my unusual double barreled last name could be anything but a pain in filling out forms. Unique is a word that gets thrown around a lot these days in relation to baby naming, but it's rarely associated with anything actually unique as in singular. The plus side of being a Sarah Klein would be that it's pretty hard for anyone to Google you or gain personal information through illicit means. I guess there are up sides and down sides to any moniker.

Edit: Darn - this was meant to be attached to the post below it. Sorry about that.

Unique Names
Submitted by rovner_matthew on May 16, 2007 - 10:55pm.

Thank you for letting me know that you enjoyed this story. There are advantages to having a unique name, but I think some people can take it a bit too far. For instance, the director of THE LIVES OF OTHERS, Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, has a birth name that is rather long—Florian Maria Georg Christian Graf Henckel von Donnersmarck.

That is a great story and a great delivery! Your voice propelled the narrative nicely and your personality seems quirky and fun. I like the echo and the beginning.
