Rachel Berman: Hello, my name is Rachel Berman. I don't have a funny story, but I do have a story about my name and why my name is actually very important to me and the naming of things. I was born Rachel Berman. When I was five, I became Susan King through an adoption and then quite a bit later in my life through a very serendipitous thing that happened to me, I ended up back being Rachel Berman, which is the name I feel most comfortable with.

After that, the naming of things became very important. So, now I name everything that's important to me, and I'm talking to you now from a rotary phone, who name is Bette Davis. And then my bicycle which is an old, old Schwinn, her name is Mae West.

As I say, I think the naming of thing and the naming of people is extremely important.
