when I was still in my mother's tummy, I used to kick a lot. they'd try to play soothing music and whatnot, but it never calmed me down and I'd keep kicking her.

because of this, my parents were convinced that I was a boy and was going to call my Jason.

anyway, lo and behold, they got a girl and I guess they decided the closest female version would be Joanne...

my dad told me this story a long time ago so it might be a little inaccurate.. but that's what I remember.. hehe.

--Joanne :P

When my mom was little, her mom used to always say that she had an Angel watching over her... ( Tina was the name given to the angel). My mom ended up giving me the name in the sense that I will always have someone watching over me.

Erik: From the Old Norse name EirÃ*kr, derived from ei "ever" and rÃ*kr "ruler". Danish invaders first brought the name to England. A famous bearer was EirÃ*kr inn Rauda (Erik the Red in English), a 10th-century navigator and explorer who discovered Greenland. This was also the name of kings of Denmark, Sweden and Norway.
