I was named after my mother. Our first and middle names are reversed in an exercise in vanity, I suppose. Before that, my first name is also my grandmother's middle name. I guess vanity is genetic.
I would personally never pass my name along to my progeny.
The reasons:
1. No one pronounces it correctly.
2.There's an angry phone throwing supermodel with the same name. Though I increasingly agree with her world views on assault.
3. I wouldn't want anyone to think I was so vain as to have children (selfish) and then name them after myself (enormously narcissistic).
I recently met someone named Ruth who may have a huge impact on my tiny business and have used the biblical connection our two names have to get her attention.
They were basically lesbians. I don't know how well this is going to work out for me.
