1. Are you named after anyone? If so, explain.
A. Don't think so.
2. Do you have your children's names picked out already? If so, is there any significance? (If you already have kids, what is the significance of their names, if any?)
A. Nope.
3. If you were born a member of the opposite sex what would your name have been?

4. If you could re-name yourself what name would you pick and why?
A. No idea.
5. Are there any mispronunciations/typos that people do w/ your name constantly?
A. Nope.
My name isn't Nancy either.
A. Don't think so.

Darn, missed the last groups of questions.
1. Soccer, though I'm a wee over the hill to start that as a new career; guitar, though I'm too far removed from a good practice schedule; guitar making, though I can't seem to find time enough to straighten out the garage to make a shop; beermaking, though I haven't yet applied for a liquor license (at least I'm already famous for it at work though). I guess that leaves my job. Apparently, I already have a reputation that makes people afraid of me. Does that count as famous? Infamous, perhaps?
2. Famous for one day - I would promote myself as a great soccer player, guitar player, guitar maker, beermaker, and engineer. Then perhaps a real famous person would latch onto one of my talents and keep me in the limelight a while longer.
3. If money were no object - I'm assuming that would mean I have all the money I would need to support whatever lifestyle I chose - I would live in as many places at different times of the year for a few years, and then choose my favorite place as "home".
4. I met Greg Howe once after the first Howe II album came out. I was dumbstruck and couldn't utter a word. I'd like a mulligan on that one. Lita Ford was fun to talk to. I though of something abstract, like meeting our Founding Fathers to find out what they think of their "creation", but that seemed morbid. So, in the end, an afternoon chat over tea with Elizabeth Taylor might prove to be very interesting and educational.
5. Upsies?

Ok, catch up to this week's questions...
1. Nope. My mother wanted "Marcus", but my dad thought that was dumb and they settled on "Mark".
2. Nothing picked out till we were preggers. Madison Michaela for my daughter and Ethan Samuel for the new boy. Not much significance at all - we just thought they sounded cool. My wife decends from Dolly Madison's bloodline, so she was enamored with "Madison"; however, truth be told, she got the idea for the name from the movie Splash. "Samuel" had some significance - my daughter named her brother "Sam" three months into the pregnancy. We had to throw that in there somewhere, because it's difficult to change a stubborn four-year-old's mind sometimes.
3. Don't know the answer to that. I'll have to ask Mum.
4. I used to hate my name - eight letters total for a first and surname together. BORING!! But it's me and who I am and I wouldn't want to change it at all.
5. I am constantly called Mike Wayne when I relay my name. My wife, when I first met her, was always puzzled why I over-enunciated the hard "k" on MarK and the "L" on Lane. Then when we were married, it all became crystal clear to her...

Now it will haunt me for ages. Jax said:
1. I am named after the special effects engineer who pioneered the groundbreaking design of the metallic rotating owl, 'bobo', in the film 'Clash of the Titans'. Ok I'll behave now, no I'm not.
2. I can't even look after myself, good forbid having any damn kids of my own.
3. Alexandretta, like my current name but with reference to the city in the film 'Indianna Jones and the Last Crusade' because I like the bit where that bloke gets his head sawn off in the cave.
4. Never thought about it, I'm a fan of the A-Team so probably Murdoch, B.A would be probably be racially inappropriate.
5. No
