Despite this, I was named Brayden because of its basic appeal to my parents. However, my middle name William comes with great honor. Both my grandfathers were born as William. That was the inspiration behind my middle name. Mahoney, also an irish name is my last. Mahoney comes from my Dad's side.

My full name is Abby Kristen Cotter. I was going to be named Devon because my mom really liked gender neutral names but, my dad wanted my name to be Abby. My parents couldn't decide or come to an agreement on my name so they decided to pick from a hat. They put one piece of paper that has an A on it and One piece of paper that had a D on it. Then they drew from the hat and every time they picked an A. So then my name was Abby. My middle name, Kristen, is my mom's middle name so she wanted to pass it on to me.

Lots of people think that my full name will be Abigail but when my dad picked the name Abby he had no intention to name me Abigail. He never liked it so he just went with Abby. I really like my name because its not hard to pronounce and I think it fits all ages. Abby is a pretty common name though so I do have former classmates with the same name.

My full name is Jia Rui Zhang, but I go by Carrie because of how difficult "Jia" is to pronounce. My name is Chinese, and my first name is that same as my sister's, as well as all of my cousins' (it was planned by my family). The name Carrie means "free man", but my parents hadn't known that when they'd picked it. I guess they just thought Carrie sounded cool.

My middle name, Rui, means intelligent, which my parents really hoped I would be. I'm not really sure if I've met their expectations, but I still really like the way the name sounds.

My name is pronounced Karr-ee, and it is easy for my classmates and teachers to pronounce because of how simple it is. I am the only person (that I know of) at school with the name "Jia" or "Carrie", but I only feel dislike towards my name when I have to tell teachers which one I go by.
