This is ONLY if you feel comfortable divulging...

If it isn’t already apparent in your screen name, what is your first name?
If you know, WHY is that your first name? How did your parents choose your name?
If you feel comfortable sharing, what is your middle name?
What is your social security number? ****ed, I keed!)

True fact: my birth name is spelled Nikki but isn't pronounced in the traditional way. Points to anyone who knows or can figure out how my name is really pronounced.

I am named that because my mom's name is Rikki and is pronounced the same way as my name but with an "R."

My middle name is Lynn. Because isn't everybody's?

And my SSN is 123...wait...what? Oh that was a joke! Ok!

Lynn is a lovely middle name... LOL. It does seem to be extremely common, doesn;t it?!?

Lora

edited to add: My guess is that your first name is pronounced with a long "i" at the end...

1. Lora
2. It was the only name (and spelling of it!) that my parents could agree on (I had a rather unusual last name that did not lend itself to any long first names)
3. Lynn
4. LOL
