What’s In A Name?
Posted by Zane under: Personal .
So what’s in a name, especially one like Zane. Parenting.com says,
What, we wonder, would have happened if famed western writer Zane Grey had written under his real first name of Pearl? We certainly wouldn’t be looking at Zane as a viable name right now, since the author was pretty much solely responsible for this name’s cool western image. Zane is, in fact, a name that may be too cool, if you believe such a state is possible. Any Zane would certainly have to grapple with people’s expectations that he be sharp, sexy, and sophisticated in a way that a John or a George would not.
So, am I sharp, sexy, sophisticated, or even too cool? You be the judge of that. Oh and on a side note, I have twelve of Zane Grey’s western novels. Now, if that isn’t too cool I don’t know what is.
