What's in a Name?

This weekend I got to chat with my brother and I found out about my name! It's funny how these things happen. . . my mom liked the name Victoria (and wanted to call me 'Tori') my dad liked the name Kelly, but I when I was born they said I didn't look like those names. My brother suggested Kristy. It's funny because that is where I thought the story ended. . . come to find out this weekend my brother told me that he had a crush on TV movie star Kristy McNichol, and that is where he got the name!

I did some research on Ms. McNichol and come to find out she played in the TV series Empty Nest and guest starred in TV shows such as Love Boat, Bionic Woman, Golden Girls, and Starsky and Hutch.

How cool to be named after a TV star!

  1. I was named after my mom's best friend and my dad's favorite song was "Amy, what you wanna do? I think I could stay with you..."

    If I was a boy, I would have been Adam. :)
