My full name is Thomas Sun Zhang. My mother and father debated on what my last name should be because my father had the last name of "Hsu" while my mother had the last name of "Zhang". Obviously my mom won. The last name "Zhang" is very common in Chinese names because it originates from the time of the Yellow Emperor who had a grandson who created bows and arrows in China and was given the honor of getting a surname which was "Zhang". My father told my mom to name my middle name "sun" because he enjoyed the sun. My name is pronounced Tom-uhs.

My full name is Victoria Marie Harten, my first name was chosen by my parents because they thought it was a nice name, and it means victory in Latin. It is pronounced "Vic-tor-ree-ah". and I also go by Vicky (Vic-ee), because when I was little I couldn't pronounce my full name so I just said "Vicky".

I really like my full name, it sounds and I think my parents did a good job naming me.

My full name is Serena Rose Tanna. My name was actually supposed to be Sonia, but a couple weeks before I was born, my parents took a trip to Hawaii. My mom thought the beach and the water was very serene, so she decided to name me Serena. My dad picked out my middle name, Rose. It's fairly common, but it's pretty and I like it. And my little sister ended up being named Sonia.

My name is pronounced SUH-REE-NUH haha. Everyone pretty much pronounces it correctly, and the first time they meet me usually say "like Serena Williams?" I don't mind though, because I actually did play tennis up until a couple years ago.

Overall, I like my name because it's not that common, but people generally don't have trouble with it. And I like it better than Sonia, so thanks Hawaii!

My full name is Katherine Elizabeth Fallon. My mom says my name was inspired by the actress Katharine Hepburn, but "Katherine" was also the spelling of someone in our family, so she went with that one. They both were strong women, and I feel proud to share their name. My name means "purity".

My name is pronounced CATH-er-rin. Ask me later how I found out I was pronouncing it wrong myself until I was in high school!

I go by Kate. I like my name, it's classic and it's one that feels right for a person of any age. Having a nickname sometimes can be confusing because I feel like I frequently get called the wrong thing. There also are so many ways to spell Katherine that that can be difficult for people, too!
