Waking Up Canadian

What if my name was Stonewall?

During my class break on Tuesday, some of my classmates were discussing baby names. Todd said that he and his wife had to rule out a few names because the initials would spell S.O.B. That story reminded me of an argument that my parents had before I was born.

They had VERY different thoughts on what my name should be if I was a boy. My mom wanted to name me after my father so I could be a Jr. My dad is a big history buff and wanted to name me Stonewall.

I wonder what my life would have been like...

In Elementary school: Stonewall graduates from Kindergarten , 1990.

In Middle School: Hi, my name is Stonewall. Would you like to purchase girl scout cookies?

In High School: Stonewall has been inducted into the National Honor Society.

At Saint John Fisher: Congratulations to the 2005-2006 Student Government Association Executive Board members: Mark, Erica, and Stonewall.

At my first professional job: Thank you for calling (my company). My name is Stonewall, how may I assist you today?

At Simon: Stonewall, what do you think of the financial crisis?

During Interviews: I have nearly 150 years of investing experience. My career began in 1861 with a bull run on Wall Street.

I'm happy that they agreed on Melisa with one 's'.
