Andrea

I’ve always loved the name Mom gave to me - a name she’d heard and wanted to bestow on her first girl; she got it from a show on radio. She thought it was so pretty! While not a name for girls in Italy, my name has got a version masculine. From Greece comes “Andrew,” meant for manly men! The female version, though, means “womanly.” In Spain, one girl in fourteen has my name. However, in the USA, the year that I was born, you’d hardly ever hear this name which now enjoys a greater fame. And since my name was not too common when I came into this world, it helped me grow to treasure things unique and lovely, so perhaps for that, I use a poet’s pen! I also found, in numerology, the letters of my first name add up to a thoughtful Seven’s destiny so true - inventiveness and eccentricity! I’m glad the name of "Andrea" is mine. My middle name is even rarer still. Its likeness to my first name I’ll not reveal, but all my names together brightly shine!
