My first name is fine, I just wish it hadn't been so popular when I was born. I'd rather have had a different last name growing up though, as having a last name with the word "cock" in it gives childhood bullies too much to work with.

Were your parents big M*A*S*H fans?

I didn't used to like my middle name, it's my mother's maiden name so it was like having 2 last names instead of 2 first names like everyone else and that bothered me a lot in elementary school.. but I got over that. :)

when I was a little girl, I wished my name was jeanie marie (with my same pair of last names after, it sorta rhymed). I *am* profoundly glad they didn't wait til I was 8 and then let me name myself. :)

Actually, the only thing I would change about my name is to change my current last name to my mothers family name from before they came to america. Current: Welborn. Mothers old family name: Livingston

"What shall we call our son so he does not get the sh!t kicked out of him at school?"

?We shall call him Engelbert!"

"Good, that'll work!"

No, his name was Gerry Dorsey, and he released songs as Gerry Dorsey, songs such as ( mumbles ) which didn't work ?cause nobody could hear what he was saying. And then his managers, obviously, said, "We're going to change your name, Gerry! It's the name that's the problem." And his name changed from Gerry Dorsey to Engelbert Humperdinck. I mean, I just wanted to be in the room when they were working that one through.

"Zingelbert Bembledack! Yingybert Dambleban! Zangelbert Bingledack! Wingelbert Humptyback! Slut Bunwalla!"

"What?!"

"All right, Kringelbert Fishtybuns! Steviebuns Bottrittrundle..."

"No, Gerry Dorsey, I like Gerry Dorsey!"

"No, we can't do it... Who we got? Zingelbert Bembledack, Tringelbert Wangledack, Slut Bunwalla, Klingybun Fistelvase, Dindlebert Zindledack, Gerry Dorsey, Engelbert Humptyback, Zengelbert Bingledack, Engelbert Humperdinck, Vingelbert Wingledanck?"

"No, no, go back one. Go back one. "Engelbert Humperdinck." That's it."
