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?

My name is Brandi. My mom and dad were either going to pick Brittany or Brandi. They decided on Brandi because they didn't think I would be able to spell Brittany. Seven years later I become the "human dictionary" at school and end up in a lot of spelling bees. Ironic, eh? They chose to name me Brandi with an I in order to be "a little different." Heh, right. I am an alcoholic beverage. Only not really, since I don't have the y. *Sigh*

I was looking in a baby name survey book that asked people what came to mind when different names were read to them. Apparently lots of people think Brandi is a curly-haired blonde who brings a lot of attention to herself by wearing lots of makeup, short skirts and flirting with boys. It went on to say that most people think Brandi is either sweet or a sarcastic snob. I have blonde curly hair and am extremely sarcastic! These people must have known me at some point.
