Do you know what my name would have been had I been a girl? TONI! Frigging TONI!! I would have committed PARRICIDE if I had been a "TONI". What was my middle name going to be, huh? Can't use Franklin. Henrietta, my grandmother's middle name? Can you imagine going through life as Toni Henrietta Harris? My initials would have been a stutter, THH. That's child abuse.
I don't know where they got Benjamin, I never did know, unless once they settled on my middle name (Franklin was my doctor Uncle Harry's middle name) they just decided in for a dime in for a dollar.
I think I have repressed trauma from "Toni".
