         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi everyone, my name is Nya Williams. It is pronounced Neye-ah, and it is the name that I prefer to be called. My name means purpose, companion, and friend; it also translates to "meow" in Japanese. My dad picked out the name and wanted to spell it "Nia" but then realized that people might end up calling me "knee-yah" instead of "Neye-ah". I hope everyone had a great summer, and I look forward to learning this semester!</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi! My name is ciarah ( see-ah-ruh) Lungrin<strong>. </strong>The story behind my name is  when my mom was going into labor with me, a song by the singer Ciara started playing on the radio. She instantly fell in love with the name, and that’s how I became Ciarah. To keep it connected to my dad and older brother, she decided to add an “h” at the end. My name also means  — <em>dark-haired one</em> — which I think fits me perfectly.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi! My name is Jillian (Jill-ee-an). My name doesn't really have a special backstory, my parents chose the name because they liked it. They were deciding between Jillian and Madeline. In my opinion, I think they made the right decision as I really like my name. My name derives from the masculine name Julius and means "youthful," which I think is pretty cool. </p>]]></description>

My mom didn't have the easiest pregnancy with me since I was her first baby and she was very new to this whole mom/pregnancy world, and when she was looking for names nothing really stood out to her until she heard Gabriella. She really loved it but wasnt so sure if it was the one, until the day she went into labor and her main nurses name was Gabriella and she just knew from that moment it was a sign!</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi my name is Nicola. I was originally supposed to be named Isabella but when I was born my parents said I didn't look like an Isabella. They wanted a name that was somewhat unique and then they heard the name Nicola and decided to name me that. (Ni-co-luh)</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi my name is Gabriella. (Gab-ree-ell-a) You can call me either Gabriella or Gabby, I am fine with either. I am Greek, and I was baptized in the Greek orthodox church, so my parents gave me a name that would align with a Saint in the church. With my patron saint being Arch Angel Gabriel. But I am also Puerto Rican so my name aligns with my hispanic culture as well. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi my name is Jillian. Some people call me Jill because it's easy for them but either way it doesn't matter to me. Sometimes by mom will call me jillybean but other than that I dont really have a lot of nicknames. My name doesn't have any specific meaning to it but I do have the name initials as my dad and my brother. JCG. I also really like that my name is spelled Jillian and not Gillian although growing up my brother did call me GG but it stuck and no one ever corrected him. </p>]]></description>

My name is very common but it is very special to me to be named after my great grandmother.  Everyone just calls me Sarah other than my grandfather, who calls me Sasa.  He is the only person who has a nickname for me.  My mom was between the names Grace and Sarah as she loved both of them, but ultimately ended up naming me Sarah Grace!</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi! My name is Lily, I am named after my grandma Suzanne on my mothers side though my parents were also considering naming me Suzette (I'm glad they didn't though). I was named after her after her unfortunate passing. I</p><p> must say it feels a bit strange to have your name be a sort of memorial to someone you never knew or even met. Moving on, my middle name is Anne so when combined with my first name it sort of sounds like Lillian but not quite. That being said, no one ever addresses me using my middle name.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p> Hi! My name is Gurleen, pronounced Gur-leen. One tip I would give about my name is that there are two e's in leen because some people forget about the double e's in it. I also recommend people call me Gurleen because I don't really have a nickname for my actual name. My name was given to me by my mom and dad and here is the history. In Sikhism, names are chosen during a ceremony called Naam Karan, which takes place in a Gurdwara (a sacred religious place where Sikhs pray). This ceremony involved the selection of a name for the child by the Guru Granth Sahib, which is in the Sikh holy book. When my parents received the letter with my name, they received a G and decided to name me Gurleen. Also, my grandparents speak Punjabi as well as I and my siblings and my parents. Also, Gurleen is a very common name in my religion, and it basically means one who is absorbed by the Guru (god). Gur,meaning Guru or spiritual teacher, and leen which means absorbed or immersed. It can also mean teacher or knowledge or one who brings light. The name initially brings wisdom and guidance.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>My name is Austin Ruzbarsky. Pronounced just like the city in Texas. Honestly, not sure how my parents picked out my name but I think it was a name they have had picked out for awhile while they were young and dating. I would like to be called Austin! That is perfectly fine.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>My name is Jennalee (Jen-uh-lee). My mother always loved the name Jennifer because that was my cousin's name and she wanted to find some shortened or abbreviated version of that name, which is how she ended up with Jenna and she wanted my middle name to be Lee but my dad got confused and put it altogether on my birth certificate so that is how I got the name Jennalee. I would like to be called Jenna. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello everyone! My name is Kenia. You can pronounce it as Keh-nee-ah.  My name was given to me by my uncle before he passed away. I don’t know the story behind my name. I never got the chance to hear from him where it came from. I did a search for the meaning of my name, and found out that it comes from the Mount Kenya which means mountain of white.  In some countries, it symbolizes strength and resilient. I wish everyone a great semester!</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi, my name is Cigal (pronounced cig-all in english). My dad named me after his co-worker, but he spelled it wrong and also shortened it. It's supposed to be spelled with a S instead of a C, but it's a Hebrew name that means violet flower. The original version is Sigalit. In a Hebrew or Russian accent, my name is pronounced differently. It's pronounced like ceeg-al with a slight accent at the end but only my family pronounces it that way. </p>]]></description>

I prefer to be called Séba, but close friends and family sometimes call me Loïs.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi! I'm Aina, now 90% of the time, people pronounce it wrong so I'm glad it was a part of the question to share the pronunciation, lol. My name is pronounced Ay-na. Although my name doesn't have a story behind it, it has meaning in multiple languages. For example, in Hindi it means mirror, in Japanese it means love/ affection, and in Arabic it means beautiful eyes!</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi everyone, my name is Brianna! I pronounce my name as bree-ah-nuh. My mom's name is Diana and her mother (my grandmother) was Diane, so my story is that when naming me my mom wanted to try to keep my name similar sounding to hers (like her mom did with her own name). My mom has told me that some other options that could have been my name were Gianna and Alexandra, but she stumbled upon Brianna which she ended up liking, and it also happened to rhyme with her name Diana. I'm very happy she picked Brianna out of those options and I feel like it suits me best. </p>]]></description>
