Well, my name is JOANNA as my username suggest, my DAD really wanted to name me JOANNA ever since. It's a hebrew name from the time of JESUS CHRIST, a woman in the bible is named JOANNA with the exact spelling. My other name is MONICA, my grandmother gave me that name because of ST. MONICA, the mother of ST. AUGUSTINE. My family is PURE CATHOLIC that is why im name after saints and people in the bible. MONICA also suggest a nickname such as MONIQUE that is why they call me MONIQUE.

It's actualy a cool filipino tradition. giving out themes for the name of there kids. for example all names starts with a certain letter, or all names of thier kids are names after a group of things like flowers, saints, etc

My grandmother's name Sergia and my mom's name is Paulita. Since I am the eldest of all the children and grandchildren in the family, I was named Serge Paulyn. People often find my name unusual and unique, but I like it. It's not a common name and it always stands out!

Hi myself is Divya-Kapoor. There was some sort of story behind my name...I was called as Shruti earlier when I was born since my mom had a girl in her college with such a name and my mom like that name very much so she kept my name Shruti, (it was a kind of Ved in our religion). But later after asking from some astrologers they suggested that my name was kept wrong and it should be started with alphabet D so it is now Divya meaning Magic or one who spreads light all over...
