My name is Ida and I'm one of your swap partners for the middle name swap. My middle name is Tiare (Tea-uh-ray). My family is from Tahiti and the tiare is the official flower of the island. It was supposed to be my first name but I was born in France and back then, city officials in the city I was born in refused to accept it as it wasn't a name in the calendar (let me explain that bit: in France, the calendar includes names of Saints for each day of the year, for example we celebrate Davids on December 29th..) so they chose to put it as my middle name instead but my family and friends call me Tiare, whereas at school, work and here in the States people call me Ida (which by the way is pronounced ee-duh, since I'm French but people here pronounce it the american way and I'm totally cool with that!) My husband calls me Tiare which always surprises people when they hear him call me, nobody can pronounce it right so even my american friends call me Ida (aye-duh at that! haha) Hope you enjoyed this little crazy piece of my history, have a great day! ;)
Super Simple Swap: The Middle Name Game - My middle name is Dawn. According to my mom, it "just went with" my first name Crystal, which was after a pretty baby that she remembered in the hospital nursery when my elder sister was born. I frequently get asked if my parents were hippies when they hear my first and middle names together.
My name, Marie Naomi means Bitter Sweet. Whenever I read the book of Ruth I think it would be so neat if I had been named for Ruth’s mother in law Naomi. She was so bitter after the death of husband and sons, she changed her name to Mara. Naomi Marie… But no, I was named for my paternal grandmother, Naomi.
