I was named Stephanie after my birth mother's best friend in college - she doesn't even talk to her anymore. American names don't usually mean much!

My mum chose my name I think, because my nanna thought she was taking too long choosing a name and suggested Lisa-Marie but my Mum didn't like that, but it might have been my grandad who suggested my name, I really can't remember, my partners little brother was named by his big brother.

I believe that it was my uncle who chose the names for both my sister and I.
He chose a name for me that has the meaning of 'money' (Which is probably what most people want)contained in the writing of my name. Although, I didn't get that name. Somehow it was mistyped in the computer when they were making my passport. So, I guess you might say my name is 'computer-generated'? :)
