That’s Right, Her Name Is Ron Jeremy

Throughout her life, the girl has asked me several times where her name came from.

It’s not an usual name but it’s only become popular in the last few years, so she’s one of the oldest kids you will meet with it. You can’t throw a rock in a preschool without hitting one now, but you probably shouldn’t throw rocks in preschools anyway. Somebody might get mad.

Anyway, I’m not big on sugarcoating things or changing stories to suit me, so I’ve always told her the truth.

“It’s not a story for kids. I’ll tell you when you’re older.”

She’s fifteen now, which is officially older, and brought up the subject again a few days ago.

“I just found out that Dylan is named after Dylan Thomas. Isn’t that cool? Why won’t you tell me about MY name? Come on, Mom, where did you get my name from?”

“Okay, fine. You are old enough to know… you were named after my favorite porn star.”

She let out a big sigh and shook her head.

“Is there anything about our family that’s normal?”

    I think ‘LOVELACE’ is a fucking great name for a 15 yr old girl. Well done!

    I’m an Amber Dawn…my momma tells me that at 23, I’ve disappointed her greatly, what with my decent career, mortgage, & lack of STDs.

    My parental-unit given name is “Amber Melissa” and I ended up with natural 38DDs.

    So in college I got a lot of “I thought you’d be a lot sluttier.”

    And then I didn’t lose my virginity until the night before my 20th birthday. To my ex husband.

    Well… He wasn’t ex at the time.

    but…Yeah. You know.x

    I’M STICKING IT TO THE MAN, MAN.

    the only other Amber I’ve known was also well-endowed and a late bloomer. I’m naming my next baby Amber, for sure.

    it’s okay, I know very little about opera. we all have our things, what’s yours?

    oh! another Amber! my blog is rife with them!

    sorry about your grownup life. I could show you how to screw it up in less than 24 hrs but, truthfully, it sounds like a pretty sweet gig.

    Cassie -
    thanks! I read the post to her and then had to explain who Ron Jeremy is. awkward!

    oh, crap, I love the name Kendra. and the recent sex tape debacle has really spiced it up!

    Michelle -
    thanks. she wasn’t thrilled. it’s tough to thrill a 15 yo, anyway. apathy is so cool.

    OHmommy -
    I’m sure she won’t be telling the story to her friends. it’s good to horrify ‘em, now and again.

  18. mom / May 30 2010

    Peggy Brister -
    haha. no, her first name is Debbie, middle name Does, and last name Dallas.

    girl, you know her name is Deep Throat. don’t play.

    That is hysterical!

    I’m going to guess that it is Jenna (and not Ron or Jeremy). My name is actually Genna, yes with a G. Apparently my mother didn’t want it to be so obvious she named me after a porn star.

    Except I’m pretty sure I’m older than Jenna Jamison.

    Coma Girl -
    So obvious she wrote a blog post about it and told the world? No. But it’s not Jenna. Try again.
