I was named after an aunt. The unique nature of having such a name, the sound of which can be so strong that it is offensive; or yet to others--appealing; to have a name so deeply steeped with association of the opposite gender causes confusion in others - as I do not look or act as though I would or even could have such a "girlish" name. It is a blessing, however. No-one forgets me, and girls love to yell and repeat my nickname...
