Say My Name

Hello, my name is Montanna.
Your name is Montana?
Yes. Like the state, but with two N's.
Well, two N's at the end, but three total.
Oh.
Yeah, it's M-O-N-T-A-N-N-A.
Oh, okay.
What's your last name?
It's Wilber.
Ah.
With an "E-R".
Like the pig?
No, no. The pig is "U-R". Mine is "E-R".
Oh, okay.
What's your middle name?
We don't talk about it.
Are you from Montana?
No.
Are your parents from Montana?
No.
Why did they name you Montanna?
It's my dad's name.
Oh.
And his dad's name.
Oh, okay. So you're a Jr.?
No, I'm a third. My dad's a Jr.
Oh. Well, where does that come from?
I... uh... don't know.
Hmm.
Yep. I didn't name myself.
Generation Before: That's a lovely name.
Thank you.
Current Generation: That's a weird name.
Thanks.

(Because I like to make people laugh, I decide to make myself the butt of my own joke. For instance... why am I even about to tell you this???)

Does your name mean anything?
Well, I imagine that "Montanna" comes from the state at one point or another, which is M-O-N-T-A-N-A.  And the state's namesake is the Spanish word "Montaña," which means "mountain" or "mountainous country."
Okay.
And my last name "Wilber" is German for  "resolute" or "brilliant," thank you very much, but for the sake of humor we will say it means pig, just like Wilbur from Charlotte's Web.
So you are a mountain pig.
Oh, it get's worse.
Oh?
Yeah... My middle name... which I didn't tell you for a reason as you may recall. Is Fay.
Like F-A-Y-E?
No, F-A-Y.
Where the hell does that come from? Do your parents hate you?
Family name. Probably.
What's that mean?
It comes from the Middle English "faie." Which means "fairy"...
Ha Ha.
So you're a mountain fairy pig!
BA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.
A brilliant, resolute mountain fairy pig, thank you very much.

And if you dare ever say my full name, do say my FULL name.
Montanna Fay Wilber!
Uh-uh. Ain't gon fly.
MONTANNA FAY WILBER THE THIRD.
Yes, Mom?

Google Chrome and Blogger, which is owned by Google, are both telling me that my last name is spelled wrong. =(

P.S.: At work I was walking back to my cubicle, and on my way I discovered an empty hallway where I promptly decided to skip instead of walk. It's safe to say that I only skipped once, but the act of completing the skip was too funny to continue walking back to my cubicle with a straight face. (12.9.12)
