I selected Kandi because it is the complete antithesis of me. I am pretty close to the vest and conservative, slow to open up to new things. I also dislike how names are often contorted with strange spellings. I also wanted to keep my initials the same (not sure why) and didn't want the name to be anyone I knew. So, Kandi (not Candy, a traditional spelling) was born. She's cute, open, loving, accepting, giving and, if I must say, a damn fine person. Anyway you know what, she is really helping me become those things too!!!
