OPINION | Lisa Baker Gibbs: A rose by any other name is still change — and worth it
Like many baby girls born during the era of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, I was named "Lisa." Mama said she picked that name because of her favorite boss in Tulsa, who had twin girls named Lisa and Teresa, and she didn't like the name Teresa. And rather than "Marie" for the middle name, she selected "Lynn," for reasons not entirely clear. Perhaps it was for the Southern alliterative lilt it lent, in the vein of Loretta Lynn or Tina Turner.
