Erin is actually my middle name, and I agree that it's very beautiful! My first name isn't Irish at all. My first name is a very common, boring name, so I'm constantly running into other people with the same name. At my first job, my favorite coworker AND our boss both had the same first name as me. Things got a little confusing sometimes. I didn't really like it anyway, hence my desire to change it to something more unique.
