Pick your own name

[Clodfobble]

I have always hated my name, and from second grade through high school went mostly by the nickname Fergie (from my maiden name Ferguson.) There were a good number of people who were honestly surprised to discover it wasn't my real name, which always sort of baffled me. Fergie Ferguson? Who in God's name would do that to a child? But when I entered the workforce I went by my real name for professionalism's sake, and then I got married and the nickname didn't make sense anymore so it never made a comeback.

My parents toyed briefly with the idea of naming me Scythia after a relative, and I always wished they had gone through with it. So I guess if we're picking from scratch I'll go with that.
