my name.

My full name is Alexandra Ann Sequenz. It's always been Alex for short, and I will let no one, I mean no one, call me Alexandra. I tried it for a week but could not do it. When I was younger I didn't like my name, Alex, because my brother made fun of me and sometimes still does, by saying "well you have a boy name." It's a unisex name. The only thing that really made me like it was last summer I found this band called This Time Next Year and they're single is "Alex in Wonderland" which is a song about a girl who's pretty much a player and messes with boys and is now getting the consequences of it and it's just alot of bashing on her. There's a line in it too that's "Alex is a boy's name anyway." I saw them on my birthday last summer too and told them like I love your song. So that was definately a milestone in my name. There's also a band called Alexisonfire, which is really Alexis on fire, but I lie and like to think it's Alex is on fire. And for some reason there's so many guys in bands named Alex, so whenever I meet them I usually just point out that we have the same name, it's a great conversation starter.
Besides that, Alexandra is formally the feminine version of Alexander. In Greek it means "defender of mankind/protector of man." In Greek mythology Alexandra is the alternative name for Cassandra which means "she who entangles men." It's pretty much a greek mythological princess who turned down that Apollo guy, she was like being a tease to him though, and he got all mad and put like a curse on her so that no one would believe anything she says. The name's orgin is greek and english and russian and also czechoslovakian which I find cool because I'm part czech.
I never liked my middle name. Ann is too plain, however I'm glad my parents didn't give me a middle name that began with an "S." It's orgin is english and hebrew, which is interesting too because my grandfather was jewish. The meaning of the name is favored grace.
I like my last name, Sequenz. I cannot find anything about it though. We've always tried to find meanings but never came up with anything. It's funny too because I'm half mexican and when I tell people my last name they're usually like "yeah that makes sense mexican" but Sequenz is my dad's last name, not the mexican part of me. I know the name comes from Europe, I think more so Czechoslovakia that whole area. We never found anyone else in the United States with that last name, so I feel pretty special, it's definately unique.
