Meaningful Names

Where did your name come from?

When I was younger, I struggled a lot with my name. I got made fun of for my name. Was always told, “That’s a boys name!”

It was always the same thing, over and over. As the years went by, I realized that no other girls had my name. Yeah, the few that have my abbreviated name. But it’s never the full name like mine.

My mama wanted something unique for a girl, but she wanted it to be kind of common at the same time.

So, she named me after my daddy, uncle, and her mama, my grandmother.

Kristopher (after my dad and uncle, just girly)

Ann (after my grandmother, Nellie Shirley Ann)
