you and sibs

[wistfuljen.livejournal.com]

I am new to this community, so this has probably been done before but I am curious as to what YOUR names are, and the names of your siblings and how you feel about them?

I am the oldest of three sisters. We are all three years apart. We are, in order:

Jennifer Leigh

Cheryl Ann

Valerie Cecilia

I used to hate my name growing up, it's pretty plain but as names tend to do, it grew on me over my lifetime, haha. I have personally met hundreds of Jennifers and dozens of Jennifer Leighs over my lifetime (I will be 30 this year, GASP!) but I do like my name. I love Cheryl's name but feel blah about her middle name, and I ADORE Val's combo of Valerie Cecilia.

Oh, Cheryl and I also each have one son- she has Ethan Riley (9) and I have Holden James (7).

edit: I forgot to add that I chose Cheryl's name when I was two. My mom gave me the choice between Cheryl and Heidi for the first name.

I'm also a Jennifer Leigh. My sister is Mallory Jo. (The Jo part after a friend of my dad's.)

When I was younger I wanted to change my name, because it was SO popular. I was originally going to be Alicia Ruth, but my mom looked at me and said, "She doesn't look like an Alicia."

If either of us had been a boy, we'd have been Adam Joseph, which I still like.
