Paraskeve

This was my mother's name. She was going to be called Maria, after her other grandmother, but then she was born on a Friday, so they used Maria for her little sister and named her Paraskeve for her father's mother. I don't really like this name that much, but it's traditional to name your eldest daughter after your mother (or your husband's mother), and I want to honor my mom. I'll probably call her Para as a nickname, as that's what my mom used.
