No, my mother says she made my name up. My maiden name was very common. My married name is very unusual too, but not as unusual as my first name.

My first name is, but my last name isn't.

We come together as citizens to celebrate great achievements and pull tightly together after a catastrophe. After the headlines diminish, we all go back to our little worlds and start to ignore each other again, we put the flags away, no more celebratory parades.........until the next time.
