[POSSIBLE SPAM] OT: Origin of Names

[Guest guest]

Neat trivia Butch. My name came out of " nowhere " though. My father named the

first daughter Anna, after his mother. My mother's turn came next. She was

lying in the hospital bed at 2 in the morning with moonlight streaming

across her bed and it popped into her head. " Gayla. That's what I will name

my baby girl " . She might have heard it somewhere, but who knows.

Gee, I set the fashion! I was named in 1948, so I am 'way ahead of my time!!

hehehe

I have a grand daughter named Zayla Zarya and one named Zandriea. Their sister

is named Zoey. I think Zayla has eastern Europe origins. My daughter wanted her

kid's names to stand out

Paula .......... in Michigan

I used to have super powers but my therapist took them away
