According to my parents, I was Jill until I was born.  Then, 
apparently, they saw me and decided to name me Joy.  I guess they 
were happy.  I am happy, too, because I hate the name Jill and I like 
the name Joy, even though the other kids always made fun of my name.  
But the other kids make fun of your name no matter what, so I think I 
got a pretty good deal out of it, even though people are constantly 
telling me that a grumpy, curmudgeonly person like myself should not 
be named Joy.
