- 3. Family thought it was cute. I hate my full proper name. It is English, German, Greek, Italian, and a Dutch name. It translates to “Listener” in many languages. In Hebrew it most accurately translates to “God Heard”, In Aramaic it means “ Listener”, and in Greek it is commonly translated to “ Flower”.
- 6. My parents named me. No idea why. My name was chosen from the Bible.
- 8. My mom named me. If my mind serves me correctly, I want to say my mom stated that it came from nurse’s name or some article she had read while in hospital. My name has a French origin. There are notable people with my name, earliest one, dating back to the 1930’s. Growing up, I only knew one other person with my name, she went to middle and high school with me; I did not know a lot of people with my name, but it turns out, there are a lot of people with my name. Fun Fact: I still have the Maternity/Baby Identification card with the date, time born, height and weight 😊
- 9. My mom. My dad wanted it to be Holly. I am definitely not a Holly! ( eternally grateful to my mama!). I think it’s European and the meaning has something to do with a meadow.
