So I'm told, my parents met through working at a Christian summer camp - one was a lifeguard and one was a counselor. They got engaged about ten days after they met, and at that time had a conversation about how many kids they'd want, how they'd split up chores, their values, etc. Part of that conversation was my dad saying his first daughter would be named Ariel! And he's since said that he wouldn't have married her if she wasn't okay with that. So I guess my mom got to pick my middle name, which was the name of her best friend at the time. They later grew apart and apparently Valerie became obsessed with rearranging her furniture or something.

I don't plan to have kids ever but I've always loved the name Anna; not sure I can articulate why. It's simple and I like the sound/look of it, I guess. I think Anna Miriam has been my favorite combo since about the time I joined the board (half my life ago.)
