1.Do you like your birth-name? Why?
I do now. Growing up I went to school with three other girls named Melissa. Then I moved and became friends with another Melissa. I have even worked with a Melissa twice. My family used to call me Missy (my SIL still does). I can't explain why I like it now other than I've had it for over 50 years and it's mine.
2. If you could change your name to anything else, what would it be?
Growing up I wanted to be called Tracy. Not sure why but I really liked it.
3) What names would you consider giving your children?
I have one child that I named Victoria Rose. When I found out I was pregnant my ex said if it was a boy he wanted to name it Johnathan Harley (call him Harley because he is obsessed with Harley Davidson). I originally wanted to call my daughter Randi Jo but when combined with my ex's last name it was an immediate no-go. Then I thought Alexis Lynn but again when combined with the last name it was difficult to pronounce even if she was called Alex (plus my mother said she refused to call her Alex).
4) If you had a band, what would you name it, and why?
My Favorite Band. Because it's funny. Imagine telling someone you're going to a concert. When they ask which band you reply, 'My Favorite Band' and they say, 'Sure, but what's the name of this band?' Cue a 'Who's on First' type of conversation.
I got this idea by the band in The Fosters, 'Someone's Little Sister'.
5) Is there a name that you completely hate? Why?
I don't think I have ever come across a name I dislike. My SIL hates the name Charles (her father and the father of her oldest have that name (my brother also has that name but we call him Chuck)).
