Thank you magic. My real name is long and people always call me by different names that are more common in my culture. On the scale of irritations this is number 1, when people misspell or misappropriate your name. And I am no exception to it.
and it is not Ego but just me wanting to be me
I got my name from a beautiful French film from the late 50's - Marianne of My Youth
"Peter De Mendelssohn's novel Marianne of My Youth was the source for this mystical romantic drama. Marianne (Marianne Hold) is the Bavarian sweetheart of wealthy young Argentinian finishing-school student Vincent (Pierre Vaneck). Hero meets heroine when his schoolmates lock him in a crumbling mansion as part of a fraternity initation. The ethereal Marianne insist that she's the prisoner of the ogre of the castle--her ageing, debauched lover. An idyllic romance follows. . .but is Marianne all that she claims to be? Can it be that Marianne is merely a figment of Vincent's youthful imagination?"
This is the first time I "googled it" I only heard stories from my parents about the origin of my name... I was the only one in my generation. A lot of messages for me in this short description....wow!!!!
