in reply to a message by Nanaea
thank you so much nanaea,the ironic part of that is my dad named me tandi,he was an alcoholic at the time.my parents divorced when i was two and i've seen him a few times since but never asked where he came up with my name.now,i can't find him to ask.my mom said that when i was two months old,she found out that he named me after an old girlfriend of his....true or not,guess i'll never know since i can't find him.but thank you so much.

That's a sad story, Tandi. You should derive strength from the significance of your name, as described in Sherwood Anderson's poignant short story.
Here's a link where you can read an on-line publication of "Tandy" (it's only two pages long):

Tandi Michelle,
I was given the name Tandi by my great aunt. She was a missionary in Africa for many years. The name Tandi is the female word for love in one of the African languages. I have also seen it spelled Thandi and Tawndee. I hope this helps.
