Spelled the way it is, it has it's own Gaelic meaning (rather than being a variant of Margaret in other spellings) which is 'soft and gentle'. As for Hope.. it suits you nicely. :) I wish that hope were something I had in my life. ;) While I didn’t particularly like my name as a kid, it has grown on me.. and it definitely suits me.

I've been calling you Hope in my mind for a long time now. I remember when you started going by that on PM's. I still fuck up sometimes and go "Tonya..Hope" or "Ton..Hope" though, lol. My mom almost named me Misty Rose. Uck, like a stripper. I think my real true name is Mel. It's funny how old people at my job always fuck my name up and call me Martha. Bleck, I need to start going by Mel at work too. I always enjoy your blog posts so much. I noticed you haven't posted in a while. What's up? I hope your hands are okay and you are too. Much love!

I'm sorry. I've always wanted to be "Grace" instead of Kelly. Pissed my mother off like you wouldn't believe.

It means a lot to have that validated by those who know me. It reinforces my desire to always be myself and not bend to the negative influences of the world. I think it matters a lot that people are comfortable in there name. I'm glad you are in yours. Oh thank you so much for saying that. It means a lot to have that validated by those who know me.

I really hated the name Desiree. I think thats because there are some weird spellings with my name and it drives me nuts. But now as a adult I couldnt imagine being any other name I AM Desiree. I wouldnt stop my kids from changing their names if they decided they didnt like them. You are who you are and your name needs to radiate who you are. YOU are HOPE you have a hope, you project hope onto others. HOPE fits you. :) Growing up i always wanted to change my name. I really hated the name Desiree.
