What's in a Name?

When I was in middle school, I sang in a small group of friends.  We spent many late-night sleepovers trying hard to blend endless words, numbers, and concepts into the perfect name for ourselves.  It was the Nineties.  The Spice Girls and the Backstreet Boys were in their prime.  We didn't live in interesting neighborhoods, and at the time, couldn't do much more than bake cookies in the kitchen, so we were stumped.  We had heard that N'SYNC got their name when Justin's mom put together the last letter of each of the guys' first names.  We tried it, too, but decided that "YEAH" probably wasn't going to cut it on the top forty charts.  Our first choice at one point was "4th Impulse."  We envisioned this really dramatic Britney Spears-meets-Aerosmith opening for our non-existent concerts, where the four of us would jump out of a massive beating heart structure onto the stage.  Being a grammar buff to the core, I'm embarrassed to admit the fact that our fantastic idea of a heart beat representing each one of us came before we learned that an "impulse" wasn't a pretty word for a cardiovascular function at all.  Not only that, but if we all waited to do anything until our "fourth" impulse...a lot might get left unfinished.  We never did decide on an actual name.  

Props to Sean.  His first band was called, "Pure Ink."  I think that's pretty awesome.  I'd listen to a band with that kind of a header.  It sounds gutsy and raw.  They actually stuck around for a little while where he was growing up, so they had a leg up on the indecisive Maine girls who needed a better Thesaurus.

InToOne has a pretty simple back-story.

Sean and I knew that music was going to be one of our greatest passions as a couple.  We also knew that we needed a name for that music.  Fortunately for Sean, and for anyone who will ever listen to us play, both my vocabulary and my ability to make decisions before my "fourth impulse" grew a bit between middle school and the time we met.

One evening, early in our marriage, we were sitting in the living room of our tiny downtown apartment.  He was playing around on his guitar, and I was sketching out lyrics in my journal.  I usually have a Bible out while I'm writing songs because it's my favorite source of inspiration.  In light of our recent nuptials, I had it open to the book of Matthew and had been reading about unity between a husband and wife.  A passage from the chapter, commonly read at weddings, says, "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate" (Matthew 10:7-9, NIV).  

And there it was.  Written in red ink.  Two becoming one.  As simple as that...

InToOne.
