What's in a Name?



It has happened to all of us. We hear all about a Harold or a Samantha, but having never met them, we conjure up an image in our mind's eye, to help us relate to who that person really is. When we finally meet them, or see a photo of them, we are not even close with what we thought they looked like. In my 'hunting ' days, I met a very attractive young lady and would have pursued her had she not had a very unattractive name. Funny how that works, but it is all a function of mind associations and cultural influences.


Don't you think those two absolutely lovely flowers deserve a better name?

Jan, Michael would have snatched you up even if your name had been Gertrude Brunhilda.
