What’s the story behind your name?

Shakespeare believed that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. But that came from a man who made up monikers like Hamlet and Ophelia. So what’s the tale behind your interesting or unusual name or nickname? Do you have a great story about how your parents came up with your name? Or a name that comes from another language or culture? We’d love to hear about it! Send us the story behind your unique name or nickname at [email protected]. You may be featured in an upcoming issue of 225!
