The Friday Five on a Saturday

1. Do you like your birth-name? Why?
   
   Yes. It is reflective of my birthplace and my parents. It's unnecessarily long. It is unique.
   
   
2. If you could change your name to anything else, what would it be?
   
   When I was younger I sometimes wished I had a more Anglo name. I always liked Selene and Natasha. But I have no interest in renaming myself now.
   
   
3. What names would you consider giving your children?
   
   Been there, done that! I think Keiki and Humuhumu's actual names suit them well. Sometimes I wish we'd given Keiki an additional Hawai'ian middle name, Keikani, but overall I think we got it right. Who knows what they'll think themselves when they're adults!
   
   
4. If you had a band, what would you name it, and why?
   
   Sliced Bread (as in, best thing since).
   
   
5. Is there a name that you completely hate? Why?
   
   I'm not very fond of Chad. It's a name I associate with bone headed twerps from my teenage years. Sorry to all the nice Chads out there.

That birth name question would be an interesting one!

Yes indeed! 😃

I could see your “coffee name” being Selene. I usually give “Miranda” or “Emma” if I order at Star-TakeYour-Bucks.

Oh, I never thought of having a "coffee name"! I'm going to try that and see how it feels to hear it called. 😃
