What is the meaning behind your birth name?
Submitted by turtlegod.
Must you ask? My name is a combination name, a dreadful Filipino practice. Fe comes from my father, Fedencio. Gail comes from my mother, Abigail. Can you say lovechild? I say, Eww. I just hate the fact that my name comes from a combination. I always ask them, Did you never think of another name? Nahh, my mother says, it's always that.
Sometimes I think my parents think that I'm insulting their choice. And I feel bad. But my annoyance with the combo as a concept is greater than my sense of guilt. I am a bad (combo) child.
