What's in a name?

So, what's in a name?

From looking at my url, we see the term 'inthelifeofromina'. Romina is my middle name given to me at birth. Romina is an Italian name which means "Little Rome". Tyrone Power, who was a famous and handsome actor of the 1930's - 1950's named his daughter Romina. The name was very popular at the time in Italy when my mom lived thereand I guess she liked it.

My first name happens to be Valerie. I was named after Valerie Bertinelli...you know... the girl who does all the ads for Jenny Craig, "Have you called Jenny yet"...I haven't, but maybe if Valerie sees this blog, she will give me a call feeling good about the fact that someone is named after her! Oh, and Mozart happens to be my favorite too Val (in reference to her son Wolfgang)...

And so the days in my life begin!
