Originally, I was suppose to be named Samantha, but my moms friend had a baby right before her and took the name. My mom didn't want it to seem like she was copying her. So I wound up with Erin, her second favorite name. My grandmother picked out my middle name, which is Elizabeth. She always told my mom she wanted a girl just so she could name her elizabeth, but she ended up with four boys. When I was born, my mom gave me that for my middle name for her.

& my bestfriend from when I was a little girl is named Eleanor. She absolutely hates it too! But I think it's such a pretty name.
