Section 1: Getting to know the girl. 1: What’s your full name. And why? Stephanie Ashton. I plan to transition and continue my current line of professional work so decided to go for something that says class and elegance. Or put this way… it is an improvement on my previous names.

Section 1: Getting to know the girl. 1: What’s your full name. And why? Janine Thomas. That’s it. Why?
