I Wish I Had That Name...

Even though I’m glad I wasn’t one of the 6 Katies in my class growing up, I still have one of those Polish last names that sounds like a sneeze and weeds out the telemarketers. (On a positive note, I can marry out of it). I sometimes dream about how it might have been, had I been granted a cool name. Here are some of the ones that make me jealous.

Margot Diamond

This was my mom’s friend who had a boat with a TV inside that played a video of a fireplace. She was ritzy, all right.

Stephanie Devine

The girl with the finest name is also a fine writer. She is also featured on my Honorary Sweetheart Trading Cards

Pepper Beaucage

Pepper Beaucage (pronounced bow-cawge) was a student teacher in my AP History class in high school. She also happened to have the best name ever.

I think this might be the best name ever.

Bix Beiderbecke

I could say Bix Beiderbecke all day long, and never get tired of it. True, Bix was his middle name, (his real first name was Leon), but I say close enough. This old-time trumpet master had that real 1920s cool.

Chandelier Laché

Okay, this isn’t a real person, but when someone I don’t like asks my name at a bar, I introduce myself as Chandelier Laché. You could say she is my kinder, more tolerant, o-bomb-appreciating half.

Plaxico Burress

While I do not share his affinity for firearms, I do think he has the bitchingest name in all of the NFL. Plaxico? YES!

I WAS OBSESSED WITH THE MOVIE MY GIRL

I went through an entire year when I wouldn’t answer to ANYTHING other than Veda, the name of the character in My Girl.

Mascuranis

I once knew a guy named Mascuranis

The unfortunate title made this brother famous.

He liked the attention, even started to strut

‘Til they all started calling him Cover-Your-Butt!

. . . a true story.

Jane?

As if my name isn’t already boring enough, for some reason, I wanted to be called Jane when I was little. JANE?? Like Plain Jane?? I have no idea what was wrong with me.

Chandelier Lache – that’s a fantastic name. I need to come up with a name for myself that’s just as catchy!
