My parents aren’t hippies!!!
My name is Summer Shine. Yes, that’s my real name. No, my parents aren’t hippies. I don’t have a sister named Autumn and I wasn’t born in the summertime. These debates have been going on all my life. As a child I was tormented by my name. I have had to grow into it. As an adult it really works to my advantage. I mean, who forgets the interview you had with Summer Shine!!!
I know there are others who are afflicted with the same struggles as I am. Like the girl you went to school with named Heaven Lee. Or your good old friend Liberty Bell. My search today is for those of you who have befriended these folks. Who do you know or what was the legendary namesake of your town? I want to see how outrageous these names get, just to make me feel better and to prove once and for all that I’m not alone.
