My parents sat in their cramped quarters with their brows knit in concentration. Then after a forty minute pause my mother looked up at my father and said, “I know a name that will cause our future daughter to always be serenaded with the tackiest, most lyrically stupid song ever.”

My father’s lips curled in a devious smile because he knew that of which she spoke.

…and so I was named Roxanne.
