    My name's Shayna. People always say "You name is pretty" and I laugh because it's Yiddish for "beautiful".

    I have met a Pepper before but not sure if it was a real name or nickname. My middle name is Glenette, which I find to be unusual. However, apparently it's not that uncommon considering every time I try to use it as a User Name it's already taken along with multiple number combinations indicating there are more Glenette's out there than I thought. Fortunately, my first name is a normal one.

    My name is Kendra. It's not very unusual now, but it was when I was little. Still, I've only met 2 people in my 24 yrs with my name.
    Middle name is Desireé
  • Middle name is Sunshine, my mom says she got it from a movie made in the 70's with Dustin Hoffman called Little BigMan(that sounds about right) Either way it was the name of one of the Native American women in the movie. I get so tired of hearing "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine" when people find it out.

    2 of my kids have pretty normal names but different spelling.

    Deven...Spelled like that because Devon makes me wanna say DevON and apparently Devin is the girls way of spelling it. So I decided Deven!

    Emma-Lee....Absolutely love the names Emma and Emily, but I couldnt decide. So with Emma-Lee...I can call her both :)

    Hashish is Arabic for grass

    Hashi is Arabic for camel meat

    my username is my first name, and it's Arabic for intelligent woman :) (Dhakiy is the male equivalent meaning intelligent man)
