receiving an uncommon name, Gogol, at birth.

meaning of your entire name,” requested Mrs. Beddingfield. I could not comprehend how I would balance my hectic schedule and write an essay on a topic as bleak as my name. Prior to my research, my name honestly did not have any sentimental meaning to me. As embarrassing as it is to admit, I honestly did not know the first thing about my first, middle, or last name. In the process of reading in the library and searching the Internet, I became restless in the pursuit of what my name meant to me,…

It's my grandma’s. The only thing she gave me. My first name means flame in Irish. But in the Rudy’s it means great-grandma who bakes. It means someone I never met, but am forced to care about. Too me it means Mr. Keegan Rudy, oh sorry, Mrs. It means Oh, wow, you're exactly how I expected you to be.…

interesting and hilarious stories about how they were given their first and/middle names. Regrettably, I am not one of those people. Although I’m sure it would have been impressive to have a riotous tale. My Father did the most of the naming, as I’m told when asked about my name. He claimed that his Aunt did have a somewhat big influence into his choice. His Aunt’s full name is Laura Elizabeth Kennedy and liking the name Elizabeth, he abbreviated it and got Elise.
