[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 196825, member: 3444"] Okay, I got some weird stuff for ya! Until he was in highschool, husband used to think his birthday was on September 14th, when in fact it's on the 13th, because his family always celebrated it on that day, because they are all so friggin' superstitious! At the age of 9, husband's parents changed the family's name to his sister's stage name because it was too complicated for his mom, who was his sister's manager and travelled a lot with her, to explain why her last name was different from her daughter's. So instead of an interesting Polish name, I married a guy with a very vanilla name. And any time someone asks if we're related to others they know with this name, we always have to say no. :D On MY side.... I have an uncle named Rocky whose real name is Dudley. I had an uncle named Duke whose real name was Phillip. I had an aunt named Dottie, who also went by Dee, whose real name was Delores. I have a brother who my mom frequently calls Clifford (that's HER brother's name), whose real name is Christopher. :D [/QUOTE]
