Memoir - AKA

I'm doing a Do It Yourself Memoir. Thought it would be fun to document my life. Basically it asks questions and you write down the answer.

I will share most portions of the memoir as well as the reflections I have when writing it. The first big section is called The Facts of Life and the first section in that is AKA.

How was your name chosen? Out of a baby book, after I was born.

What do you like to be called? Nadine (with a long "a")

What are all the names you have used? Dean, Deenie, Schwag, Mouse

How did you get those names? from friends and co-workers

If you could choose a different name, what would it be? At this time, I wouldn't choose to be different than I am. - and this was the answer that gave me pause. In the past I've thought about changing my last name. And there are times I may not have loved my name. But I also can't imagine being anyone else. Just like my past makes me who I am. Nadine Schwager is who I am. And I love me!
