Yes, when I started visiting these forums (fora?) I had been Rachel for a long time but it's a very common name with various spellings. So I made it Rachel Ann becauseOriginally Posted by Melissa A.
1. Ann is the name of two women who are very important in my life, and
2. "A" puts me ahead of all the other Rachels, alphabetically.
I finally went to a site that already had a Rachel Ann, so I chose my surname (Compton). It's a family name on my mother's side.
