QotD: What My Name Means

What does your name mean and why did your parents choose it for you?
Submitted by mommy2two.

I'm not wholly sure this is true, but I think my parents hadn't come up with a name for me when I was born and my mom was so doped up she told dad to just name me something and let her sleep.

This is the true part: I was named after Spiderman's girlfriend [not that hooer MJ] before she died and was repurposed as...I don't even know what, I'm a Superman girl and don't read Spiderman, but I've heard awful things. Apparently she appeared in the latest movie this summer; EW referred to her as a "tart." And she had a kid with Green Goblin or something. I don't know. I don't want to know. I'd like to continue thinking of her as Spiderman's first true love. I believe my father had a crush on her and so that is the name he chose for me.

And that is why I'm a Gwen, just Gwen, not Gwendolyn or Guinevere or any of that nonsense.
