My parents were going to name me Brin if I were a boy, which I don't particularly care for. phew My best friend's name is Amaya, which is also pretty different. When people ask her what her name is, they often think she's saying "a man"(ususally that happens in a loud bar) Drinks Well with Others [ Edited by: Tikiwahine 2006-08-15 11:07 ]
