Switching Names

Thursday, November 7, 2013

If you had to switch your first name, what name would you choose and why?

This one is EASY!

I would like to be known as Victoria.

That's the name I chose for myself as a child after watching one of my favorite Western TV shows, The High Chaparral.  I loved Victoria and her brother Manuel (Manny). I think this fueled my fascination with the Mexican culture in general.

Spotted Somewhere in a Hallway in Colorado Springs 269/365

Glorious Guess 236/365

That's her name, Glorious Guess. That's what I want to call myself after Faith Nation. (This picture was taken with the craptastic OLD camera bleh!)
