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. ]]> 2022-02-07 17:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/robinallyn/2y7j69qwkm0n5vs0/wish/2033588834 https://padlet.com/robinallyn/2y7j69qwkm0n5vs0/wish/2033602995 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.]]> 2022-02-07 17:09:38 UTC https://padlet.com/robinallyn/2y7j69qwkm0n5vs0/wish/2033602995 https://padlet.com/robinallyn/2y7j69qwkm0n5vs0/wish/2033603858 My last name is from my dad, I'm not 100% sure where exactly it comes from. My first name is Savannah, and my mom named me that after her favorite childhood movie "Savannah Smiles".

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.

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! ]]> 2022-02-07 17:25:54 UTC https://padlet.com/robinallyn/2y7j69qwkm0n5vs0/wish/2033644756 https://padlet.com/robinallyn/2y7j69qwkm0n5vs0/wish/2033649885 My biological father wasnt in the picture when I was born.

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!]]> 2022-02-07 18:13:25 UTC https://padlet.com/robinallyn/2y7j69qwkm0n5vs0/wish/2033758604 https://padlet.com/robinallyn/2y7j69qwkm0n5vs0/wish/2033791407 There wasn't any meaning behind my name, they just liked the name at the time. ]]> 2022-02-07 18:27:44 UTC https://padlet.com/robinallyn/2y7j69qwkm0n5vs0/wish/2033791407 https://padlet.com/robinallyn/2y7j69qwkm0n5vs0/wish/2034263644 My last name is Filipino originating from my biological father's father.
