Humpty Dumpty

A Meaningful Name ▼

White pawn to 6th row/rank - Humpty Dumpty insists that all names must have meaning. Does your name mean anything in particular to you? If not, create a unique name with a unique meaning.

I have a name with meaning. My mother gave it to me, but it is more than that. Her name was Pamela first. She wore it her whole life, and she wore it well. My middle name is Ruth, after the biblical hero. I feel the least connection to this name but I still claim it because it gives me the same middle initial as my mother. Foland, is a name I chose. It is my grandmother's maiden name. I was really close to her younger brother Donald. He was there for us when my father left. This brings me to why I chose to change my last name. It started out Holroyd, difficult to spell and say. My mother took it from my father so there were two of us with the name Pamela R Holroyd. Our birthdays are one after another. That meant that medical records and official records often got screwed up. I don't care who you ask I didn't have a pap smear at age two. Anyway, after my dad left and some other things happened, I was looking to change my name enough to end the confusion. That is when I chose Foland. It is a name that means love and family to me.
