Well, my first name comes from my mom's favorite uncle, my great-uncle,
who's name was John. I got the feminine form, Johna (which is pronounced
the same as John except for the "a" at the end...). However, for some
reason, my family (and no one else, for that matter, unless they're trying
to annoy me) doesn't call me Johna, I go by my middle name, Noelle. I'm
not sure where that came from... probably a story behind it. Our family
(meaning my mom's side; I don't see my dad's side much, and I don't really
know them) tries to name their children after family members. My mom's
middle name was her mom's middle name. My sister's middle name is the
feminine form of Lee, another great uncle or something; her's is Lea (she
got jipped on her 1st name though; my parents got it off an order form for
kid's bike license plates, so it's pretty common). So, that's about it, really.
