Fast forward, prior to moving to Canada, my family and I were travelling in America and stopped by a McDonald's for food and I saw that on the coffee machine it said Joe's (before McCafe) and hating coffee as a child, I decided I did not want to be Joe anymore and just looked through the bible until I found a name I liked.]]> 2022-09-14 00:21:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jholmes20/m9qln0dfk1qmfbe8/wish/2295316925 https://padlet.com/jholmes20/m9qln0dfk1qmfbe8/wish/2295617052 I was originally supposed to be named Samantha, but my parents continued to fall in love with the name Emily and felt like they needed to stick with it! Mainly because they liked the nicknames that went along with it (Em and Emmy). ]]> 2022-09-14 03:58:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jholmes20/m9qln0dfk1qmfbe8/wish/2295617052 https://padlet.com/jholmes20/m9qln0dfk1qmfbe8/wish/2302108589 I was originally suppose to be named Alessandra because both of my grandmothers names start and end with an "A" so they wanted to follow that tradition. One day when my mom and dad went to a bakery to pick up a few things they saw my name on a cake and they instantly fell in love with my name. ]]> 2022-09-19 01:38:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jholmes20/m9qln0dfk1qmfbe8/wish/2302108589 https://padlet.com/jholmes20/m9qln0dfk1qmfbe8/wish/2303445192 I was born with the name "Lindsay", which was given to me by my birth parents. When I was around three days old, I was placed into a foster home. Carole and Wayne were the caregivers of this foster home. Carole and Wayne fell in love with how sweet and adorable I was and decided to put in a plan to adopt me. At three years-old I was legally adopted by my parents, Carole and Wayne. At this time my parents wanted to change my name, but they realized I was too old and it wouldn't be the fairest or nicest thing to do. That said, my older brother suggested keeping my name but changing the spelling of it. That same brother proposed the idea of spelling my name as "Lyndze". From that day on the spelling of my name was changed and the rest is history! :) ]]> 2022-09-19 17:28:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jholmes20/m9qln0dfk1qmfbe8/wish/2303445192 https://padlet.com/jholmes20/m9qln0dfk1qmfbe8/wish/2415672707 My grandmothers name was Nancy and my parents wanted a name similar but not exact. The Elton John song "Nikita" was released in the late 80's and they were taken with the name. Combining Nikita and Nancy, they decided upon Nakita]]> 2022-12-09 14:26:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jholmes20/m9qln0dfk1qmfbe8/wish/2415672707 https://padlet.com/jholmes20/m9qln0dfk1qmfbe8/wish/2415709599 My parents always loved the name and were debating about what to name me when I was born. When my mom gave birth to me they said I looked like a Natalie.
