Klimt van Zieks, Where does your first name come from? It seems more like a last name to me..
Dear Anon,
In terms of things I disliked about my parents, one that certainly stood out was their pretentiousness. Yes, Klimt is most certainly a last name. It was taken from a man that my parents met upon their world travels, a man who was very talented in the art of decorating things in gold.
My brother was named after the Baroque period of art, especially the more golden paintings. I am certain you may be beginning to see a theme.
They loved putting up appearances. Our names were simply further steps in that.
