4. Jo 191 up, 87 down

the female version of Joe. Usually short for Joanna, Jolene, Josephine, and other such "Jo" names.

Usually arises in the form of a sassy, small (in stature) female.

Girls with this name tend to know where they are going in life. They love to have fun, but are always looking ahead at their goal. She knows what she wants, and she knows exactly how she is going to get it.

On the outside she has a tough shell and tries to be a badass, but deep down she is a hopeless romantic. She wants and can't wait to fall head over heels.

______________________________________________

This morning i thought seriously about claiming Jo as my name in my totally new home- totally new start- no-one-around-to-call-me-Caity life I will be leading in Vermont in a few short weeks. No one there would ever even know i went by any other name.....
only they would- my name on my voice mail- my email- my website- my facebook- my life, it is all labeled caity. and professionally i can't just abandon my birth name for my chosen one. it's also premature of me to abandon all that i have been up to now to become something completely different. because the transformation is continuous, and while i am greatly changed- i am not entirely new.

in vermont- i will introduce myself as jo. jo- an extension of caity. i am ready now to live and breathe in the skin of the woman i wanted to be all my years prior-(caity) jo.

never will i deny caity nor forget her. she'll still remain, on my voice mail, in my email, on my website, on my facebook, and with all the people who have only known me by that name. i will still respond as her.

but i'm not going to pass up this opportunity to embrace the wild spirit of my kindred jo march/lousia may alcott to the full extent i can. i still love caity, but my name is jo.
