Some of my girls. Left to right: Angela (formerly Evanesence), Shayla (formerly Elizabeth), Juliet, Rubby and sister, Maria (formerly Christina) and Misha. The girls who changed their names had decided that their names were far too long. I was teaching them cursive for their signatures and they were getting frustrated. I put a pile of names on the board, including my three best friends from Elementary School, Maria, Angela and Shayla. It's kinda weird that they chose those three, I'm used to it now though. I'm not quite sure though if those names are easier to write in cursive than their previous ones....they seem to think so though. I guess that's all that matters
