Tina is my preferred name, and my pronouns are she/her/hers. My name came from my parents. I was a premature baby, about 4 lbs, and had to be put in an incubator for a week or so. Because of this, my mom named me Tina, as in Tiny Tina. That nickname has stuck with me throughout the last 20 years.

My last name is Filipino originating from my biological father's father. I am named after my father. On my father's side, all of the first-born sons are named after our fathers. It also happens to be that all of the first born to each family were male. There are 7 "Jr's.", leaving no family without a Jr. Being that I'm half Hawaiian, my middle name is extended with the letter "O" to incorporate my Polynesian culture.

Since both of my parents are native-Koreans, my Korean name is 노을 (Noeul), which means "Sunset" in English. My father said "when people see a sunset, the feelings or emotions people feel are very special and unique in their own ways. It is rarely a situation where people think or say negative things while watching the golden sunset. I want people to see you in that kind of way, live a life like that, and be the person like a sunset." This is where my name came from and the vibe of it led me to "Katherine" as an English name. I love my name and this story. Thanks to my parents!

My last name comes from my dad, the name Garcia is a Mexican last name. I don't think there is anything special about my first name except that my parents really liked it compared to the other names they had chosen for me.

There is not any significant meaning behind my name. My mom just really liked it. People like to think that I was named after Ross and Rachels' daughter in Friends. The name Emma gained crazy popularity after that. Surprisingly, I was born just a week before that episode came out!

My parents got my name when shopping at a store in Dallas, Tx. The girl that helped them out was apparently very beautiful and was named Jennifer. My mom says that she hadn't heard the name before and they fell in love with the name. For the rest of my moms pregnancy both of my parents would acknowledge me as Jennifer. Now the only person who calls me by my full name is my mom.

I don’t think there’s any meaning behind my name. My brother is a junior so my dad just wanted me to be different, I’m guessing.

As you can see, I got "Jr" in my name. My dad's name is Mario and he wanted someone who he can all Jr. But as for the name "Mario", the origin comes from Italy I believe and became prominent after the game "Mario Bro's" came out.

My name isn't super unique but the story behind it is pretty cool. I'm not sure if it's a Mexican tradition or it was just my dad but it's pretty common for the first born to e given the dad's name. My dad's name is also Juan, but I'm not the first born. My mom didn't want to name my older brother Juan so when I was born they named me Juan instead. As for the origin I have no idea.

I honestly don’t know where my name really came from. My parents goal was to find a name that was unique. My name isn’t short for anything so I guess that sets me apart from some of the other Augies in the world.
