First name: Andrea (Greek, meaning feminine)
Middle name: Rochelle (French, meaning little rock)
Some sense of humour my parents had.
My first name is for a family friend. My middle name is the middle name of my mother's aunt who died before I was born. Her first name is Hazel-- glad I didn't get stuck with that. Rochelle's not so bad; at least it's unique. But nobody can spell it and everybody always asks whether my family's Heugenot.
If I were a boy, my name would be Andrew James, and I'd be called "Drew." My brother's name is Arthur James, for my dad's father. He goes by AJ. If my first name were Arthur, I would go by AJ, too.
