Your name is awesome! How did that name come about? Who named you? Is there a story that goes along with it?

Thank you! It's just my screenname, so I guess you could say I named myself. ;o) Unless you're talking about my real name, Korrine, which is related to how I chose my screenname, so I'll tell you both stories.
I'm adopted, and while my bio-mom was pregnant w/me, she & her sister nicknamed me "Corrine" after a character on the 70's tv series "Soap" who was adopted. She made no mention of what my nn was in any of the legal papers. When my parents adopted me, they had also watched the series "Soap" and liked the name Corrine. However, they decided to spell it "Korrine." About 2 years ago, I was contacted by my birth mother and told all this. Since then, I've discovered that my ancestry is mostly Welsh. Cambria is another name for Wales as Erin is another name for Ireland, so I chose Cambria as my screenname. :o)
So, there's the story. Pretty sweet, huh? :op

Heartwarming story. Thank you for sharing it. I also think Cambria is a pretty name. I recently added it to my select list of favourite girls' names. Corrine/Korrine has been growing on me lately. It is the name of a very kind & helpful secretary at the University that I attend.
:o)

That is so interesting!
Thanks for the background. It's always interesting to me how people who have more unique names (to me, anyway) come to have that name.
