Alistairs of the world: Unite!

I have it on good authority that a young man by the name of Alistair came by to inspect the site today. I hope everything was to his liking...I hate to disappoint other Alistairs.

Having lived with the name Alistair for my entire life, I've had mixed emotions on my uncommon moniker. When I was a kid, my less-than-normal name led to some teasing. For a while I considered changing my name, although with the choices I had created, I'm glad I stuck with the original. I've grown up to really like my name.

It's particularly great when I run into someone who I haven't seen in a while. If I say, "Remember me? It's Alistair.", most people don't have to sift through too many before they match the man to the memory.

Just in case you're wondering, Alistair means: defender of mankind. An important job, but I think I'm up to the task.
