My guest blogger today is my second-grade daughter, Madeline, who originally wrote today’s post as a homework assignment. Special thanks to her teacher, Mrs. Vogel, for providing the inspiration.
My name is Madeline Elise Jones. My parents had a hard time deciding on a girl’s name if their baby was a girl. After a lot of discussion, they chose Madeline because it was a classic name, and elegant, and it had a cute nickname (Maddie) if I wanted one. They chose Elise because they thought it was beautiful and liked the way it sounded between Madeline and Jones. Jones is my dad’s family name. It’s Welsh.
Comment from the coach: Telling the story of your name is a terrific piece to include in your memoir. Your name tells a lot about you and your family, and no two stories are exactly alike.
