What's In a Name?
by Amazon Syren

     My name never really suited me.
     Oh, 'Jacky' was fine -- Willy always called me Jacky, even before we went after the drum together -- 'Jacky' sounds like a capable girl with her feet planted firmly on the ground and a sharp mind. 'Jacky' I could have lived with, no problem.
     But that's not what my dad called me.
     No.
     When people heared that name, they thought of sweet-faced gals with big blue eyes and long blond hair and, like as not, big soft tits to go with 'em.
     They sure as hell didn't think of a big, brawny girl who spat and cursed and never could walk properly in a dress no matter how hard she tried (I was always tripping on the hem or getting my knees tangled up in the extra material... Trousers were definitely a better choice for me).

     No. My name didn't suit me at all. Despite the words on the birth-registration, I couldn't really have been a Mary-Sue.
