I was named after either a Supreme Court Justice or an alias of my dad's.
The official story is that I was named after Justice William O. Douglas. Mr. Justice Douglas was a fine and distinguished man. Cool beans.
One day when I was 15, I was playing cards with my father during a visitation...and he mentioned that when he was in bars hitting on women who didn't need to know his real name, he used to use the name Bill Douglas.
It took me two beats, and he was drunk anyway...
"Are you saying I was named after your fake name?"
It took him FOUR beats, because six canned margaritas tend to pickle the brain.
"No, no, Billy, swear to God no..."
Part of me (the part including my brain) still suspects that an attractive nurse approached my blitzed father to inform him of my birth, asked for a name, and he gave the name he always gave to strange hotties.
You choose. I honestly don't know.
My first name is after a character on General Hospital in the late seventies. My middle name is one that has been handed down thoughout the generations of women in my family.
