Hi Sunil, I wish there was so much story behind my name but there really isn't. My mom's name is Teresita based on this guide that they call "Almanaque"? I am not sure. So that is why my parents named me Theresa to give it a modern twist. They always wanted our second names to start with A. Reason? I dunno. So that's Theresa Aiza. My Father is Fernando so they named my brothers Ferdinand Anthoine, and Francis Ailo. The Francis is all just because it had to start with an F.

Hi, sunil_008. I am assuming that I got my first and middle name from my mom. I was told that my nickname came from my aunt. My real name means, Child Of God.

Hi sunil! My name was given to me by my mother and apparently she was having a hard time choosing one. The story goes my name was from a commercial..lol..a woman was singing to her baby and sang the name that my mother decided on.

Hi! I think many pets carry human names . But by the way, I carry the name of my grandmother, my parents decided so and I'm very proud with it, because I like it. My name is Nikolai, which means " master of the peoplenation", but not those, who rule them, but those, who guide them!

My name is Danielle Liann. My dad's name is Daniel ... so that's where my first name comes from. My middle name comes from a Danielle Steel book that my mom was reading and the character's name was Lian ... she added another n, because both of my grandmothers' middle names were Ann. I love it! =)
