Name Blog

When I was younger my teacher told us to go home and ask our parents how we got our names. On the walk back to my house i asked my mom about it and she told me that I was named after my Uncle Paul. I learned that i was supposed to be born on the 10th, my uncles birthday, but I was born on the 9th. I also learned that all my siblings are named after people in my family too, my one younger sister's middle name is my grandmothers name, and my other sister's middle name is my mom name. My brother is named after my grandmothers uncle and my other brother is named after his moms dad. My middle name is my grandfather's name, Hendrik. I havent had to many nicknames. My mom and grandmother used to call me Paulie and my brother used to call me smalls but that was just because of the sandlot. In second grade my friend gave me the name turkey because he was coming over for thanksgiving
