Makes one stop and think, doesn’t it? I personally do not believe a name makes a person but, if I had been called Michelle on a daily basis would I have been less of a “tom boy”?

By the way, never heard the story about “Verna Beth”.

And yano, I have changed my characters’ names as the book progressed. “They” (the characters) didn’t like their names and insisted I change them. *shrug* what could I do? I changed them.

In my current work, the ex-wife started out as Sophia Venetta, but is now Joanna St. Claire, which is SO her. :) AND don’t call her “Jo” or “Ann” or “Anna” She is “Joanna” and don’t you forget it! LOL
