This afternoon, I am doing some very casual research into my families history. I have two other full blood brothers among the crowd of my family. Their names are Aven and Logan. I was extremely surprised to find that both of those names, along with mine, are Celtic women's names. I'd known for all my life that mine was and that my mom had wanted me to be a girl, raised me that way at first and frequently bemoaned the fact that I had those ugly growths between my legs.

I will always wonder what that woman had in mind by naming us all using feminine names. Some times the truth is stranger than we can imagine.
