What's the story behind your name? Where did you parents find it? Is there a person they named it after? What's it mean? Anything.

For me (my name being Tamsin), my mum read it in a book when she was in her teens and pictured the name on a little golden-haired girl. My sister was born, with red hair, and then after came me! Oh, and my name means 'twin'. Which is quite possibly the most boring meaning ever.

But what about you?

I was meant to be Renee Diane (EW)! My mum chose Renee Elsje when she had me because the nurse's daughter's name was Elsje and she fell in love with the name. While I was just a young child, I realised I hated the name Renee. I started going by Elsje as soon as my parents would allow it. I should have eliminated Renee altogether (and I regret that I didn't), but my name now is Elsje Renee Michelle. Michelle is my mum's middle name and I wanted a middle name I liked.
