Names

[ghini]

Someone on a mailing list was asking about names. What's your full name, and what does it mean?

I am Michael David Alberghini

Michael has been the first or second most popular name given to male babies in the U.S. for each year since 1954. My parents aren't very creative. :)

David was my fathers name, and also biblical. Dad was a big old Jesus Krispie.

Alberghini is Italian, obviously. An albergo is an inn. Alberghi is the plural. Adding -ini in Italian is a diminutive. So my last name in Italian basically means "little hotels"

What about you?

my mother was pregnant when she married the man thought to be my father, a Day. It is a Welsh Derivitive of Dee and dates to the 12th cenury to the Gryffdd (Griffith) lineage.

Three years ago, I discovered My biological paternal heritage is a "Stanley" unknown but searching.

When my mother went into labor, she had turned 16 a few days before. To ease the pain, she was given some medication that basically had her tripping.

When the nurse came around and asked what she wanted the baby to be called, she thought I was a girl, so she mumbled the name she picked for a girl.

The nurse translated it as best she could and wrote what she thought my mother said.

She said "Vickey Elaine Day". The nurse thought she said "Rickey DeWayne Day". I was supposed to be William Ray Day III. On second thought, maybe that was all a lie too.

I've been a fuck up since day 1.
