Monday Listicles: 10 Names I Would Have Named Myself

I’m linking up with  Northwest Mommy‘s Monday Listicles.  I’ve previously written about my name here as well. I hope you enjoy!

10 Names I Would Have Named Myself

1. Venus.  Because being able to take this picture is rad.

2. Venus. Because having to respond a lot to, “Is your brother Uranus?” builds character.

3. Venus.  Because it’s awesome to have a song with your name in it.

4. Venus. Because who doesn’t want to share a name with a vibrating razor???

5. Venus.  Because the name translates into just about every language in the world, which is WAY cool.

6. Venus. Because having a name that rhymes with “penis” makes it a LOT easier to play the penis game.*

7. Venus: Because other cool people have it.

8. Simon James Alexander Ragsdale the Third. Ok, not really, but if you know why this is here, then we’re in a pretty cool secret club together!

9. Venus.  Because being “Botticellian” sounds even sexier than “curvy.”

10. Venus. Because I just can’t imagine being named anything else!

*Searching Wikipedia for “penis game” results in a redirection to “Chicken Game.”  While I do not wholly disagree with this, as the penis game is one of brinksmanship, it’s too bad it’s not specifically mentioned in the article.  I would link to something else, but I’m not stupid/brave enough to Google “penis game” and see what teh interwebz come up with.  If you don’t know the game and really want to know, tell me in comments and I will elaborate in another post.**

**I’m going to perform an experiment here and add “penis game” as a tag to this post to see what kind of searches it shows up on (assuming they lead traffic here).  Should be fun!
