If I could wake up in a different place, at a different time, could I wake up as a different person?

Jason...
There was a relative down the line named Jason who everyone called Jase. My dad liked Jase so decided to go the same route with me.
Or so he says....
True story here folks:
One day in May of 1980 my folks deided to hit the local drive-in to see that spiffy new horror movie, Friday the 13th.
Just a few hours after the film finished.... my mom went into labor.
Now im no genius but seeing that my mother HATES horror movies, youd think she'd have vetoed the Jason idea.
Yeah, the Jase thing is official... but story #2 is real and ive used it to freak people out for like 15 years now.
Im a HUUUUUUGEEEEE fan of Mr.Voorhees, because of his work more than his name.
Side note:
For $4.88 each at Wal-Mart.... I recently picked up the first 8 FT13th films. With the employees discount, thats under 40$ for the bulk of the series. Sweet deal IMO.

Desiree. My mom was tired of the generic Hispanic names in my family, plus my dad got to name all of his sons so it was only fair that my mom name her only daughter. She saw my name in some book about Napoleon (not Dynamite before anyone pulls that out.  ) Besdies, it could've been worse, I could've gotten my dad's ex-wife's name, Gladys. |

alex...
well,i was actually named alexandra but who cares...
anyway,my parents just like the name,but theyre the type of people who probably named me after alexander the great or something but as a girls name....i do know either my sister or i were supposed to be named catherine,as a family tradition[miriam,cathrine,miriam,catherine,ect.my moms name is miriam]
but my mom and dad liked reachelle and alexandra more.my grandparents and great-grandparents were kinda cheesed off that my mom didnt name my sister or i catherine......my siters middle name is catherine though.
woah,i cant picture my name as catherine...

Eric. My parents were looking for a name with Norwegian heritage and went with it. Their other option was Bjorn and if I was a girl they would have named me Andrea. The funny part is, my now ex girlfriend was originally going to be named Pollie, had things gone a little differently we would have been Bjorn and Pollie, now THERE's a couple |

My Dad was stabbed and at one point actually died. He named me after the wife of the Doctor who brought him back to life (Chloe).
..If only my Father was Kevin Smith. Then I would have been named Harley Quinn.

My father gave me his middle and last name. My first name is the male equivalent of my mother's first name.
Edit: My first name's Patrick by the way for those who must know.

My name was picked by my mother so as to avoid being named Peter as my dad would have it. Childhood is hard enough, thanks mom.

Well Kevin means handsome literally, so it could be my mom just had amazing psychic power, but more likely she just liked the name.

Christian
Because my parents wanted a girl name Christina or something like that. The boy name was an after thought which became my name.

Parents originally planned to name me Damien, but around a month before I was due, The Omen hit theaters. So they went with my great-grandfather's name instead.
