The Story of Your Name

What's in a name? Now that we've played the 'Name Game' in class, I would like you to share the story of your name to help us get to know each other a little more.

Instructions:

Describe the story of you name. You might consider some of the following ideas. How did you get your name? Does it have a particular meaning? Do you have any nicknames? If so, how did you get them? How does your name 'fit' you or describe you? You may consider telling us a story about your name or anything interesting about your name that can give us some insight into who you are.

This will be fun!!
