If you had to change your name, what would your new name be?
I am so glad I didn’t get this opportunity. When I was a kid, Mother told me a story about a little girl whose parents allowed her to name herself. She chose Chippy Lee. I thought that was an inspired name and asked if I could be Chippy Lee. Sadly, Mother denied me. Not long after, I started school and read a book about Nancy. Immediately, I wanted to be Nancy, so I could be Fancy Nancy. Again. I was denied. Before long, I met a girl named June who had adorable spectacles with red plaid frames and realized I needed to be June. Once again. I was denied. I gave up on name changing then until I got married and changed my last name. Somehow, that didn’t have the same flair. I was fortunate in one way, though. My maiden name started with an S and my married name with B, so I did move up alphabetically.
That’s so interesting. I don’t like my name but tend to be called ‘Ess’ which I prefer.

If I could change it would be to Dafydd to tie me even stronger to my Welsh culture. Hugs
