September 2: Writing Prompt #245-Name That...You!

Do you know the meaning of your name, and why your parents chose it? Do you think it suits you? What about your children’s names?
I know for a fact that I have already answered a previous prompt concerning the meaning of my name, so I will not repeat it here, although I am happy to share with you how I chose my children’s names.  Their first names are both Biblical and simply ones that I liked the sound of as well.  Their middle names are their grandmothers’ maiden names.  I like having a bit of family history within their given names. If I had had a third child, his or her middle name would have been my maiden name to stay with that tradition. 

At any rate, I am happy with my children’s names still today. Hopefully they are too. I have thought about other names over the years that I might have used, but I can’t imagine their names being any different now, just as I can’t imagine being anyone other than who I am, Susannah.  What about you? Do you like your name?  Does it suit you?
