1. If you have a child, what would you name him or her and why?

·         If I had a daughter, I’d name her Luna or Aurora because it reminds me of the moon and polar lights, both shine in the dark which brings light to those around them. And if I had a son, I’d name him Alexander or Zander, because they symbolize bravery and strength

2. What are your three favorite English names for male and female?

·         For male (Alexander, Noah, Ryker)

·         For female (Aurora, Luna, Annalise)

3. If you could change your name, what would you change it to and why?
