I'm named after my great-great-grandfather Andreas. My name was supposed to be Anastasia or Christina(coincidentally my middle name) following in the long tradition of "Names That Start With C!!" But, when I was in the belly, my great-grandma was sick and she told my mom that Andreana would do. (Even spellcheck thinks I spell my name wrong)
I looked up my name, the feminine form of Andrew, meaning "womanly." O_o ehh? My grandpa always told me it meant brave, that I was his brave little Andreana. I didn't want to disappoint him, but I've never really felt very brave.
There's some famous lady named Andreana Weiner. . . . isn't that lovely? I don't know what she does or where she's from but I'm not sure I want to know... There's an 18 year old girl in Italy named Andreana, her birthday is the day after mine and we like some of the same music and movies. .
Have you ever felt like you had to live up to your name? Andreana Christina Theodora Sprinkle. . Nina said once that I should be rich and in the Victorian time period with that name. . . Or something like that. Those are some large shoes to fill.
Andreana- Womanly
Christina- Anointed
Theodora- She was the Empress of Byzantine . . and she's a Saint in the Orthodox Church possibly the most influential and powerful woman in the Byzantine Empire . . ever. She was a prostitute for a while and a comedic burlesque performer O_o oh dear and I did a report on this woman hahaha Holy crap go read about her, she did some nasty stuff O_O
Sprinkle. . . don't get me started. There's a famous porn star/sex educator named Annie Sprinkle -snorts-
I sometimes wonder if my name suits me, then I remember how weird I am. I don't mind being weird, I don't mind that only a few people bother to try and pronounce my name, and I most certainly don't mind that my mother doesn't even call me Andreana anymore.
So I guess for now I'm Dre, and that's alright with me too.
Do you like your name?
Would you change it if you could? If yes, what would you change it to?
