Friday Five: The Name Game.
1. Is the name you have now the same name that's on your birth certificate? If not, what's changed?
It's the same.
2. If you could change your name (first, middle and/or last), what would it be?
I wouldn't. I like my name exactly the way it is. I find that once you know someone's name, it wouldn't seem right for them to have any other name. This obviously doesn't apply to stage names, but I still think it's true.
3. Why were you named what you were? (Is there a story behind it? Who specifically was responsible for naming you?)
My mom named me after the actress that played the Bionic Woman on tv, Lindsay Wagner.
4. Are there any names you really hate or love? What are they and why?
I dislike names that are very old-sounding or out-of-date: Hortense, Herbert, Agnes, Bertha, Amelia, Gertrude. I like names that sound "pretty" and flowing: Alyssa, Christine, Melinda, Charlotte. (I have trouble with male names, as you can see.)
5. Is the analysis of your name at kabalarians.com / triggur.org / astroexpert.com accurate? How or how isn't it?
Kabalarians: Your first name of Lindsay has made you a friendly, approachable, and generous person. Generally you are good-natured, though at times you can be blunt and sarcastic. As you are naturally talkative, you find it easy to meet and make friends with many people. This name inclines you to be sympathetic and generous to those in difficult or unfortunate circumstances. You can be firm, positive, and independent in your own ideas and in reaching your own decisions, yet when it comes to taking action or following things through to completion, you often need encouragement. You respond quickly to kind words or any appreciation shown you. There are artistic, creative abilities in this name that you could express through music or singing, or, in a practical way, through sewing or interior decorating. You enjoy freedom from monotony and are stimulated by unexpected opportunities for meeting people, entertaining, or pursuing activities of a carefree nature. In your work, you find it difficult to be neat and orderly. You rarely plan things ahead of time, or follow a routine. Emotion and feeling, the desire to be carefree, friendly, and happy, are the driving forces in your being, rather than shrewdness, ambition, and material success.
I like planning and routines, and I'm orderly. Otherwise, this is pretty accurate.
