Day 1 - June 2, 2011 What is in a name?

Remember back in school when we used to take the first letters of our first name to try and describe ourselves?  Remember that feeling of trying to think of just the right words?  So what is in a name really, how did our parents come to decide on the name we carry today?  I pondered this thought and asked my mom how she decided on my name.  Come to find out my paternal grandmother was named Virginia and my paternal grandfather was named Loren, hence my name Virginia Loraine! (I never knew my paternal grandparents so I found this very intersting)

V- visionary

I- introspective

R- respectful

G- giving

What is the story behind your name?  Please leave a comment, I would love to know your story.

"From birth I have relied on you; you brought me forth from my mother's womb.  I will ever praise you."
