Journal Entry #4

My name is Andrew James Dwire. My parents are fairly religious people so they named me Andrew after the prophet in the bible who's name was Andrew. James also comes from the bible although I'm not real sure on where. They were going to name me AJ but they felt that I didn't really look like an AJ so they came up with Andrew James instead. Also they thought about giving me the middle name of my grandfather's first name Edward, but they nixed that because they felt it would get to repetitive sounding Andrew Edward Dwire, too many d's and w's. My last name is about all the Irish that is left in my being. When my ancestors moved here from Ireland they felt it necessary to change there name to avoid racial profiling and persecution, so they changed it from O'Dwire to just plain Dwire thus severing any real Irish basis behind the name.
