What's Your Preppy Name?

When I signed up for my Blogger account, it told me I needed a display name.  Well I have a real name already and it knows my real name, but apparently that's not good enough. So what am I to do? Well according to my philosophy behind this blog, I need to take a quiz. http://www.blogthings.com/ has way too many quizzes about names (see this list  if you don't believe me.) There were a lot that appealed to me and I wanted something that relates to my interests, like Jane Austen Inspired, Vampire, or 80s names. But I went for a preppy name instead.



Your Preppy Name Is: Goodloe Bentley Wharton the Fifth




But most people know you as Kitty
Blogthings: A Fine Line Between Insight and Stupidity

This might seem like a pretty random choice, except that I'm reading True Prep: It's a Whole New Old World by Lisa Birnbach with Chip Kidd. I may be only 15 pages in, but it's hilarious.  My life is nothing like this.  My name isn't Muffy and my boyfriend isn't named Duncan.  I don't have a maid (even though I sure could use one!) And well that's about as far as I've gotten so far.  But I'd be lying if I said I didn't want all of these things. In fact, I wish I had a yacht and everyone I knew dressed in Lacoste on my yacht.  Okay, so realistically it wouldn't be my yacht, but it would be my dad's.  Or should I say, Daddy's.

So for now, I'm going to be Goodloe Bentley Wharton the Fifth. What about you? What's your preppy name? Take the quiz, and by take the quiz I mean type in your name and check male or female, and post your results in the comments.  Then we can revel in our make-believe preppiness.
