about fifteen, no, twenty years ago (she was about twenty then). Her first name was really feminine, though I don't remember what it was,
Sarah or
Catherine or
Mary or something.
Jackson was her mother's maiden name, and had been given her as a mn. For reasons that will always be unclear to me, she
chose at some point in high school to be called
Jackson. Not
Jackie, mind you,
Jackson.
I don't get it, myself. I also don't understand
Andie MacDowell (neé
Rosalie Anderson MacDowell) or
Campbell Brown (neé
Alma Dale Campbell Brown) or
Reese Witherspoon (neé
Laura Jeanne Reese Witherspoon) making the same choice. Not a trend I like, no sir, not at all.
