30 December 1997
My brother's name is Jeremiah Edward Raggie, making his initials JER. Maybe
someday when he's older and wiser he'll figure that out and do something
cool with it.
For now the only thing you need to remember is that, unless your last name
begins with an R, I won't marry you. Now quit wallowing in your
disappointment and go to My Pages.
My parents did a really amazing thing when they named my brother and I, and
I'm not so sure they even realized it. See, we both have amazing initials.
My full name is Amber Mae Raggie, making my initials AMR. I used to joke
that, if I had two more middle names, I could spell my entire first name in
my initals. When I was younger those two names were Brianna and Emily. Now
that I'm older and wiser, they're Bursztyn (if I spelled that right) and
Elektron, which are the Polish and Ancient Greek words for
amber, respectively.
I also like the fact that my name is actual stuff. How many of you
can make that claim?
