I used to know a girl named Nira Michelle. While her mother was PG with her, she was driving one day past a local company's billboard. She took the acronym of the company, N.I.R.A., and made it her dd's name. I would have absolutely hated that and apparently, the girl did too because she asked everyone to call her Michelle from the time she was around 13 or so.

Nira is so pretty, though. I'd definitely rather have it than Michelle.

What did N.I.R.A. stand for? Did she know? I hope it wasn't anything too awful!Nira actually has a pretty look and sound to it too, but yes, that is not a "how I got my name" story I'd like to have. Especially as a 13 year old :)

I have no idea and I don't think she did either. She definitely didn't think much of the idea. I remember her coming back from summer camp a new person because she'd convinced everyone there to call her Michelle.
