Friday Five

1. Are you named after anyone? If so, explain.
Don't think so, actually. There IS a singer named Manuela, but I think mum just picked the name cuz she likes it. She loves the Mediterranean, which would also explain why my bro's got an Italian name. And one of her best friends when she was about my age was Spanish. So I suspect it's her admiration for all things Southern European that got me ending up with that name ;)

2. Do you have your children's names picked out already? If so, is there any significance?
Huh? Children? What children?

3. If you were born a member of the opposite sex what would your name have been?
Er... I have no idea. But knowing my lame mum, it might've been the male version of my name. Manuel.

4. If you could re-name yourself what name would you pick and why?
Jessy. Tho a lot of people call me that anyway, so whatever ^_~

5. Are there any mispronunciations/typos that people do w/ your name constantly?
My surname is a bitch even though it's only got three letters. That's why I tend to spell it before people even request for that.
But then... Hey, come on, it's not that difficult! If you know all of the numbers in English and can calculate five plus one (or two times three, or whatever), you're done! >:O

Ah, so you do pronounce it like the number. I wasn't sure at first when I saw it.

Yep, exactly like that.
silicondreams seems to think it's pretty cool O_o

I admittedly laughed at it when I first saw it. Mainly for the fact that I had just read about your newly acquired toy Three. I thought it was amusing that your name was also a number. Almost like you were part of the SOIS family ;)

Well, now you'll have a chance to laugh again.
I never made that step from SOIS to my surname.
Lame? Yeah, very *facepalm*
Guess I'll like it a lot more from now on :D

Well be thankful that you don't have a common last name. There are a ton of people with my last name: Michael, Janet, Latoya, Marlon, etc. A whole family of them...

I do, actually.
Okay, it might be limited to the area I live in, but you have no idea how many times I got total strangers asking me "Do you know this and that person, you have the same surname" and I had never even HEARD of that person O_o
