Do you know or have you ever wondered how your name was chosen? In The Philippines, parents get creative when choosing names for their kids. I blogged about it here.
As for me, my name didn't just come from a baby book or by combining my parents' name. It was chosen by my Mama because she liked this actress, Yvonne de Carlo.
Isn't she a beauty? Look at those blue eyes and luscious lips!
Yvonne de Carlo is a Canadian actress best known for her role as Sephora (Moses' wife) in The Ten Commandments and as Lily Munster in the original Munsters series. Anyway, after deciding on the name, YVONNE, she then looked up the meaning in a baby book.
Yvonne is of French origin, which is derived from the Germanic word "Iv", meaning "Yew" which is translated as beautiful girl.
"People with this name are excited by change, adventure, and excitement. They are dynamic, visionary and versatile, able to make constructive use of freedom. They fight being restricted by rules and conventions. They tend to be optimistic, energetic, intelligent, and to make friends easily. They may be changeable, restless, untidy, and rebellious."

Thanks to my Mama for giving me such a beautiful name! Some people I know hate theirs, but I wouldn't change mine at all.
What about you? Do share what your name means and how it was chosen for you.
