When I asked my folks recently, how they chose my name, this is the conversation that followed:
(confused looks)
Dad: I’m not sure I remember. I think just because we liked it.
Mom: we just liked the sound of it.
Dad: I don’t think there really was a reason.
Mom: Your dad picked it.
Dad: and how did we pick Lisa’s name.
Mom: I picked that one. I didn’t know what to pick for her middle name, so the nurse picked
Marie, and I liked the sound of Lisa Marie.
Dad: Why? Don’t you like your name?
Me: Oh, I like it just fine now! Though when I was 5 I wanted to be something
Prettier like Nancy or Penny. I’ve changed my mind since then, though.
Dad: Now one of the Pearson’s had a daughter named Alana.
Mom: (Gives Dad “THE LOOK”)
Dad: (oblivious to the look for the moment) I always liked that name.
Mom: (still with “THE LOOK”) I though Alana was the name of one of Nelson Kennedy’s old
Girlfriends.?
Dad: (trying to backpedal a bit) She was just a young thing. Always came around when we
were working. I guess maybe she was Nelson Kennedy’s girlfriend at one point. He
might have been better off if he’d ended up with her instead of old Loralee.
Mom: Well, maybe he named you after the wine. He likes to drink Sherry.
Dad: I wasn’t drinking Sherry back then (Digresses into a conversation with Bob about how
Taylor’s Sherry just isn’t as good as it used to be)
Mom: (to Sherri, with a shrug) Well then, with what he was drinking back then, you’re just
lucky your name isn’t Wild Irish Rose!

(When I was a little girl, my grandmother always told me My mother wanted to name me Delia after my other grandmother, but that Dad, who didn’t like his mother-in-law wouldn’t go for it. She always told me I was named after the wine)
