I was originally going to be named Zachary but she went with Matthew. I ended up Matthew Paul Santucci but it took time to get there.
I was born Matthew Paul Jesse. When my mom divorced I became Matthew Paul Henderson. When my Mom remarried, I was legally adopted and became Matthew Paul Santucci. That happened when I was 5. I've had the name I have right now since 1989.
Matthew Paul was chosen as "gift from god" or something lame like that, lol.
I no longer wish to have Santucci as my last name but I've been lazy about working up to getting it legally changed. Eventually it will become Deimos, selected after the Greek God of Terror and Dread.
