It didn't occur to me

Recently I've been wondering why my mother didn't name me Olof when I was born. I always thought really traditional norse names like Olof or Willhelm were really interesting and masculine, hence very cool, names.

So I asked my mother why she didn't call me Olof and why I wasn't born in some stronghold of Norse culture like Helsingborg or Rejkjavik....her answer was that "it didn't occur to me at the time".

Instead of being Olof from Helsingborg or Willhelm from Rejkjavik, I'm Andrew from Townsville...doesn't have quite the same ring to it, but it'll do.
