Names

So I've been thinking about names in the last little bit, trying to come up with a name for my blog... and also about my own given name. Honestly, I'm a little divided, and have been for years now, about my name. Monica. Two meanings: "solitary," (think words that begin with 'mono') and "advisor." Scary, both of them.

I like that it's a relatively uncommon and somewhat unique name. I don't like what some people (i.e. prime-time TV, certain White House interns) have done to my name in the last decade or so. But I think it's somewhat musical, especially the triple-duple effect of my first and last names together.

More about this later. I better publish before I talk myself out of this whole blog idea...
