Man, I am SOOOOO the wrong person to comment on this. *MY* parents were/are complete theatre hippies. So, my name is a long hippy-rant like Moon-Unit Earth Harvest Shining Light Sunbeam ... except it's in Gaelic, thank god, so most people can't tell. EXCEPT, my folks thought it would be a real lark to give me the first name "Moggy" ... a British slang for unwanted,stray cats. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moggy Needless to say, I haven't used that name since I got out of the torture that ensued in Jr. High School. Luckily I had so many other names to choose from and am, for the most part, known as 'Ileiren' ... which seems to be working just fine. (Although I chould have choses Talamh of Ceol, I suppose *facepalm*) My sister, ten years younger than me, is Nelle. *sigh*
