Like the Backstreet Boy. To make things worse, his middle name is Aaron (like the Backstreet Boy's brother who dated Lindsay Lohan and Hillary Duff, or at least I think he did). He's also blonde. But he's an actual musician, an amazing percussionist, and doesn't dance. I have a friend named Nick Carter. Like the Backstreet Boy.

Wherever I go, I am usually the only Dani. Imagine my surprise when I started seeing my name pop up in the comments sections of several blogs! There are a couple well-known DANIs in the knitblog world that aren't me :-).<br/><br/>If someone has to be using your name, at least it is someone who isn't disgracing herself in the media. It could be worse--you could be named Brittany Spears or Paris Hilton! I experienced that feeling on a smaller scale when I began frequenting knitting blogs.

Shows how totally out of touch I am. I'd heard of this wannabe Mandy Moore only by peeking once over a little girl's shoulder while she pored over her grandma's People magazine, but I thought she was some sort of actor, not a singer. Ah well. She totally pales next to the real thing. Um. Shows how totally out of touch I am.

I know it sucks to share your name with people who might not always use it as carefully as you'd like. My birth name was Cari Fischer (gee--small wonder I took my first husband's name) and my brother's name is Joel. Please note, for the record, that Carrie "Princess Leia" Fisher's sister's name is Joely. No, my parents had no idea. I was born before Star Wars came out. Just one of those cruel twists. <br/><br/>Sigh.<br/><br/>Take heart. Maybe she'll take his name. Or fade into obscurity. Dude.
