Week 6A- What's in a name?

My name is Anna. This is the Latinate form of Hannah which means favour or grace. It was in the New Testament and belonged to a prophetess that recognized Jesus as the Messiah. In the early days it was a popular name in the Byzantine Empire. In the middle ages it was more popular among western Christians. For the most part I like my name; mostly because it is really simple. My name is kind of fitting, but I’m not sure about the whole grace thing. I’m not very graceful. If I were a guy I would’ve been named Tommy. I’m glad I wasn’t because I’m not a huge fan of that name. If I could start over again and change my name I’m not positive what it would be, but I really like the name Riley. To make it unique I would spell it differently though. Like maybe Rylie.
