    My name is meaningful to me because it might be a common name,but it's not a name that rhymes with many things for kids to make fun of. My mom gave me a natural name spelled the right way. When my mom says my nickname it's not much different than my normal name .My name is full of heart and thought. I believe my mother picked out the perfect name.
