SO….I have always been fascinated by names. When I was about 7 years old my mother shared with me that my names were supposed to be “Maria Lana Simone.” Sometime between entering the hospital for delivery and exiting with a newborn my name changed based on input from my father, my aunts and the attending physician. I have always wondered about Maria Lana Simone. Would she have walked the same path I did, made the same choices, loved the same things? So, what is your naming story? Who named you?
