Whats in a name??

May 3, 2017 Challenge...Meaning of my name.

Yeah, my name is Holly. Whats your name? Have you ever wondered what your name really means? I had an idea growing up and once I got older, I understood more. 

Origin: German

Meaning: A unisex name, meaning "like a dove" and "who lives at the sign of the dove". Alternatively referring to the Holly tree, and a popular name for children born around Christmas time.

I AM A JUNE BABY!!! What was my mother thinking???? Why couldn't I have been like a...Stephanie, or Megan, or even SUMMER! 

When I introduce myself to people this is how it goes typically. "Hi, my name is Holly"; "Holly huh"; "Yes, Holly, like Christmas"; "Oh ok". Like, they finally get my name after I reference it to Christmas! 

Yes, that is a Holly tree. As a tradition, holly sprigs are hung on doors for good luck! Bet you didnt know that! I sure as hell didn't. 

Emotional Spectrum: Not confrontational, but prefers to accommodate. 

Personal Integrity: Her reputation is beyond reproach
