- As far as I can tell, my first name derived from a misunderstanding of
- greek mythology. (I had for some reason assocaited the name diane with athena).
- My middle name, Erin, was picked because-- it flowed well after diane, and
- sounding close to eric it gives me an excuse if i answer to 'eric' when i
- shouldn't.
