I do not have a preferred nickname. I am not named after anyone. The significance of my name comes from my Italian heritage. ]]> 2021-06-03 13:05:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ofotini/6gu4800px8y1tpwn/wish/1582385137 https://padlet.com/ofotini/6gu4800px8y1tpwn/wish/1582386078 My name is a combination of both my parents names put together. They took the Kei- from Keith and the -bara from Barbara to make Keibara! Kei or Keibs is a nickname that close friends and family have always called me mostly because my name was either too hard to pronounce or just a hassle to spell, but as I have gotten older I wanted to be called by my first name. ]]> 2021-06-03 13:05:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ofotini/6gu4800px8y1tpwn/wish/1582386078 https://padlet.com/ofotini/6gu4800px8y1tpwn/wish/1582386369 My mother chose biblical names for all of her children.  Lisa is the short form of ELIZABETH --which means "God's Promise."  My Dad and all the boys called me "Lees."  My Mom always called me Lisa-Anne (my first name and middle name together).
I used to be jealous of all my friends who had way "cooler" names than mine. I've grown to appreciate it more over time, especially as I've gotten older.]]> 2021-06-03 13:05:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ofotini/6gu4800px8y1tpwn/wish/1582386369 https://padlet.com/ofotini/6gu4800px8y1tpwn/wish/1582386688 I was named after my great grandmothers. I go by Grace because I'm not the only person in my family named after them.]]> 2021-06-03 13:06:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ofotini/6gu4800px8y1tpwn/wish/1582386688 https://padlet.com/ofotini/6gu4800px8y1tpwn/wish/1582387003 I was the only boy in our family. My mother wanted to call me Eric. My father wanted me to have his name. This is significant to me because I identify with a man who has been present in my life from birth to present. His name holds meaning to me.]]> 2021-06-03 13:06:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ofotini/6gu4800px8y1tpwn/wish/1582387003 lsanchez181 https://padlet.com/ofotini/6gu4800px8y1tpwn/wish/1582387048 I was named after my father. It means warrior or strength (don't know which culture)- which I always thought sounded cool!]]> 2021-06-03 13:06:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ofotini/6gu4800px8y1tpwn/wish/1582387048 https://padlet.com/ofotini/6gu4800px8y1tpwn/wish/1582387164 My mother used to shop at a children's store called "Ariel's Child" and she always loved that name fore a girl.  The interesting part is that "Ariel's Child" was also a teacher store similar to lakeshore. My middle name is Mia because my Mom thought the actress Mia Farrow was beautiful! I've always liked my name and my best friend growing up was named Arielle so we always had that fun connection! ]]> 2021-06-03 13:06:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ofotini/6gu4800px8y1tpwn/wish/1582387164 https://padlet.com/ofotini/6gu4800px8y1tpwn/wish/1582388087 I was given my name because of  it's religious meaning, "one with God." I was given this name  by my mother.
My preferred nickname is Neeks or Nikki.
I think my name speaks to the importance of religion in my family and how having this name reminds me to cling to the foundation of religion that was instilled in me.

My Grandmother and Mother both agreed on this name because they thought it was a pretty name. I however have claimed that the Beetles named that song after me. Michelle my Belle.

I am not named after anyone as my dad made my name up.  I am the only child out of all of my siblings that has a name that begins with a letter other than K.
I am in love with my name as it represents my uniqueness, strength and family.]]> 2021-06-03 13:07:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ofotini/6gu4800px8y1tpwn/wish/1582390196 https://padlet.com/ofotini/6gu4800px8y1tpwn/wish/1582392638 Pauline Emika Taylor
