Why some people look like their name

I knew a “Stormy.” Her life was always a mess. Just when you thought it couldn’t get worse, it always did. She brought a lot of it on herself, and she wasn’t very bright, but if I believed in people being born unlucky, she’d be at the top of my list of examples. I’m not going to give examples of stuff that happened to her, because it’s too depressing. OK, wait: she lost all her teeth, and that didn’t even crack the top ten of bad things that happened to her.

Note: do not name children after bad weather conditions. You might as well name them “Titanic.”

I wonder how many kids named “Katrina” were born - or conceived - during the storm.

I once knew a girl named Ziggy.

I don’t know if that has any inherent stereotype attached to it, but she didn’t seem like a Ziggy to me at the time. I guess she’d be in her 30s now, though. Maybe she grew into it.

I know a butch lesbian named Missy.
