But my grandmother wanted to make my unique. So, she brought the suggestion to spell it differently.

To my knowledge the word "Mia" is also saying mine. For example you would say "tu eyes mia" meaning "you are mine".

This is something I didn't even know until now. I am African AMerican and something unique about my culture is that we have family reunions.

My first name is Elizabeth, which is my mom’s mom middle name. My middle name is Ann, which comes from my dad’s mom’s first name, Anna. Both of the names I received are the names they did not go by, but I find it really special to have been named after to 2 strong women.

I always get a reaction from people when I tell them my name. Sometimes they
 don’t even believe it’s my actual name. I never really asked my parents of the reason behind it.

Thiên is my Vietnamese name.

He is a huge motorcycle fan, I can remember "helping" him in his garage when I was little when he'd be taking apart and rebuilding Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Out of curiosity I looked up the meaning of the word Harley which is "long field" however this has nothing to do with why I got my name. Although, I read that the emotions of openness and freedom are associated with my name which I find interesting. ]]> 2022-11-01 18:39:20 UTC https://padlet.com/eli2195827/q5l0di08n9yjas7v/wish/2365441979
