Oh! I misunderstood. ~g~ It's madeuppian, with a fictional influence. Seriously! Okay, story time. My Dad wanted all his kids to have the same initials: GWC. My brother got a normal name, and then I came along. "Okay," they said, "Another G-name. Gregory!" So they were happy until someone else from our very-tiny-town church named THEIR kid Gregory, and Mom and Dad were worried it would look like they were just copying.

So now it gets hazy. Somehow, they decided on Geonn. I've heard several stories. "I saw it on the hood of a car as GEON and just added the N" or "It was a supplier at the company I was working for" and "I just made it up," I don't know what the real origin is. But somehow, I ended up Geonn.

I HATED it growing up (especially in school; one teacher on the first day was going down the roll call list, got to me, and said, "I got no idea." Most of them guessed Gene or Gino or Ge-onn), but now I love it. I'm the only Geonn around! ~poses~
