Names
They story goes that names -- their meanings, their personal significance in a family -- can end up having influence on a person. What do you think?

Couldn't say, myself. If I'd been a boy, Mom wanted to name me after my grandfather, Vernon Van Dyne. Dad just wanted 'Something French.' So they went with Vernique. French and before that Greek for Bringer of Victory. Same etymology as the name Bernice, so some would say I lucked out in that I didn't end up named Bernie.

I certainly like it.

For family names on my mom’s side there was Peter but that doesn’t sound very good with Spector. On Dad’s side there was Randall my dad’s brother but he was insane and almost killed Mom with a hatchet like Dad’s girlfriend in the CIA and Elias was Grandpa Spector’s name but Dad hated him and Mom’s not mean enough to do that to me. So Mom found my name in a baby book and though it sounded really good with Spector so that’s how I got my name.

	Yeah I’m glad Mom chose to give me that last name and she had four to choose from Spector, Arlaune, Grant, and Lockley. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ooh, Arlaune would have been a spelling nightmare in first grade. Where was she getting all her options, if you don't mind my asking? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well Arlaune is her last name, Spector is dad’s real last name, and Grant and Lockley were the last names of dad other personalities which all have legal documentation. (Reply to this)(Parent)
