Prompt: New name. Let's meet again, for the first time. If you could introduce yourself to strangers by another name for just one day, what would it be and why?
I've got nothing on this one. I really like my name...all of it.
My mom named me Jennifer because she liked the named and knew no one with it. These were in the days before "Love Story" made Jennifer a very popular name.
I was named Jennifer Louise, but I kept my surname after DH and I were married because it was my name and I had established myself professionally, and I like my name.
DH and I were married in the days when hyphens were a popular way to celebrate new relationships. I felt just fine about being a three named person.
So that's why it's just fine with me to say, "Hi. I'm Jennifer Burns Lewis."
