I was almost named Scythia after a great aunt--the last female born in my family for 60 years before me... but at the last second my mother balked and they gave me an incredibly common name that I hate.

BUT my husband swears in all honesty that if my name had been Scythia he would never have approached me because I would have been too scary and weird. I don't get it, but he feels names definitely shape who you are.
