I LOVE my family.

Bear with me here.

You see, when my mother and stepfather got married they knew they wanted two children and that they were going to name them after themselves, Annet and Nathan.

Thankfully they got a girl then a boy. If it had been two girls, it was being discussed that the second girl would be named Nathanette.

So now we've got my little sister and brother Annet Marie Stein, Jr. and Nathan Cane Stein, Jr.

Oh god, they're not little anymore; they're 21 and 20. I'm going to die of old soon.

Anyway, we would eventually discover that my stepfather didn't actually have a middle name--his father had seemingly made that bit up--so Nate 1000 (aka Nathan Jr.) is actually not a total junior, since he has a Bonus Name (tm).

We always called Annet, Jr., by the initials AJ, which eventually became Ajay.

When she got older...maybe Jr. High?...she decided that she liked Ajay better than Annet, so her parents let her legally change her name to Ajay, with the condition that she had to pick a middle name that was from one of her great aunts.

Such was born Ajay Esther Stein.

Now she's grown disgustingly tired of people thinking she's a guy when they read her name or call her, et cetera.

So she's changed it again.

I have a new sister named Kate Haley Stein.

See that? That bit coming out of my nose? S'not snot. S'brains.
