My first name is Ashley, which i plan to change to Ashlea when i get older to reflect my heavy gaelic heritage.
I have 2 middle names, one from each grandmother.
The first is Caroline, even though my grandmother's name is Carolyn, she changed it when she became some head nurse of some district waaaay back when.
That's my dad's mom.
The second is kinda complicated. It is Agatha, but you are pronouncing wrong!!! lol
The story goes my grandma was born to two french parents at a strictly english hospital. They didn't understand what they wanted the baby to be named so nurse asked them to write the name on paper.
It was 'Agathe' pronounced Ah-gahth. The nurse thought they were ignorant northren French i suppose, and thought they spelt it wrong and meant the common name Agatha, Aig-ith-ah.
The parents never changed her name, and pronounced it the french with an 'a' ending, Ah-gahth-ah, which i think is so much prettier.
lol
Was that WAY to much info for you?
BTW, if neone cares my last name is Cameron.
And there are about 100 Ashley Cameron's in Ontario anyway, so im not worried about anyone finding me, lol.
Tootles :)

Ps. I used to do this thing where i take people's last name's and first names, and rearrange them in my sacred little way, to get really cool nicknames for all my friends, with neat meanings. I also often you the chinese translator, and pronounce out the names and find what each letter means and give a little meaning to their new nifty Chinese name. Lol. Want one?

Friends indeed!!! heres how it goes....

Alright, so these people are all friends, and quite the little collection we have here, and why they all need each other.
Ishtar, the mother goddess of love, war, and fertility, and she is sitting around one day, counting her ceiling tiles and starts reminiscing of her old Goddess pal Sekhmet. They started some fine wars in their day, all in good fun. She gives in, and picks up the phone to see if she can come over. They decide to get together, and the F.R.I.E.N.D.S. has begun. They begin talk about old times, and Ishtar starts thinking about starting something a little new.
"Sorry Ishy, but I've been rather busy lately. I'm training my new deranged Russian henchman, Rasputin. He is a real handful; he's got spunk. But I'll tell you something else, he just simply has the worst possible timing with absolutely everything, and fate just seems to work against him.
Ishtar tapped her chin thoughtfully, "I have a new friend, a Roman. Faustina, interesting girl. She might as well have rabbits feet for hands, horseshoes on her feet, and four leaf clovers for hair. She's awfully nice, but doesn't have that evil streak I was looking for."
Just then Ishtar's handy maid rushed in with the goddess's tea, singing. "I have blonde streaks!"
"We know, Erato… we know." Ishtar relplied rolling her eyes.
"Where did you pick that one up?" Sekhmet asked rather uncaring of Erato's presence as she put sugar in her tea.
"Oh her. Zeus got fed up. She will never stop singing. So, he gave her to me for a while. That voice comes in handy for the fertility side of the job, she can really set the mood."
"Well, how about we reconvene tomorrow, at the same time. I will bring my good luck charm, and you bring your senile mastermind." Sekhmet rose to leave, clearly forming an idea.
"Mastermind! Hah!" Ishtar explained, "he's got the senility, he's got the corrupt depravity, but brains… hardly."
"So we need someone with smarts then… I'll find our genius, if you can get me some power. Ever since me an Hathor had that skirmish, I'm just not what I used to be. Well thank you for the tea, it was delicous."
