Me, By Any Other Name...

First of all, I have to confess that I'm stealing this from Joe. When I read about his name on his blog, of course it made me want to read about mine! Interestingly enough, we share an entire section of our descriptions...so now I'm curious what parts of our names does that :) Anyway, here's what it says:

You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life.
You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip.
People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them.

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.
You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily.
Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.

You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in.
You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising.
You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.

I think it's pretty accurate aside from a few small pieces...and the entire last section. Anyone who knows me will read that and laugh. I suppose to some I could be considered a free spirit, but I think only within bounds...which is really contradictory, but it's true. I don't know really how to explain it. And although I'm somewhat independent, I also appreciate all the people and supports in my life, and I think I know when I need help - and I'm not afraid to ask for it. Everyone likes to be taken care of sometimes...

This also leads me to question whether or not this is a nature or a nurture issue. Do our names fit us, or do we grow to fit our names? My mom didn't want to name me Kelly - my grandma did. So had my mom not given in, would I be different? I know I'm not supposed to know, and I'm who I'm supposed to be...but I'm still curious. Can't help it. It's just my nature...
