The Erin comes from a good friend that lived in my dorm….  She'll be excited to hear that her namesake has come up… XD  Deanna is actually named after her great-grandmother, and her middle name, Lily, comes from her godmother's grandma's name (and it was also to be her first daughter's name, who she sadly lost 5 months into her pregnancy.)

My brother is named Marcus after Marc Antony, and I got my name because it was Ukrainian, to match my last name…though I like to believe that it's from A Midsummer Night's Dream, but because of how my mom reacted when I brought it up, I know that isn't right.  And both my brother and I have our parent's middle names. Allen and Louise.  They wanted to start a tradition….  Well, at least I kept Deanna's middle initial as an L, right?

Lovely rambling…sorry….  I'm trying to keep my mind off of ickiness while polishing off a mango sorbet….

Bah, certain kinds of spam are awesome. ;)

I like Atticus Erin---even/because of the To Kill a Mocking Bird connotations. It's nice to be named "after" someone/thing, even if it's just vague. For instance, Joni is definitely from Joni Mitchell, though I'm not specifically named after her. And my friend Patrick was actually named after the Swayze. Whenever we get down we listen to Joni Mitchell songs and watch Dirty Dancing, lol.
