1. What does your first name mean?
I thought Leslie meant old gray castle, but quick searches turned up small meadow or garden.
2. What does your middle name mean?
Arlene means a pledge.
3. What does your last name mean?
Not sure what my maiden name "Schur" means (pun not intendend). My married name is Gottlieb, which I belive means Love God or Got Love (Got=God, Lieb=Love).
4. So what does your name mean when put together?
Garden pledge god love. (I pledge to love God in a garden?)
5. What would you have been named if you were of the opposite gender?
Lawrence. I would had the been named after the same Grandma Lena (I had a Lena and Joseph on both sides). Jewish tradition is to reuse the first letter of a deceased relative's name.
6. Any other name oddities?
I think Leslie is indirectly after the singer Leslie Gore. There were a bunch of Leslie's in my hs class and the one before (all girls). I've never seen that many since. Also odd is the pair of Joseph and Lena's on each side. I am the end of the line of this line of Schurs alas (only child of my dad who had only a sister).
