It all started before I was born. When my mother was in the hospital, she was thinking of a name for me. She thought and thought but, there was nothing at the top her head. While she was thinking of a name for me, my grandmother entered the room. She asked my mother, "What will you name the baby?" My mother told my grandmother that she was still thinking of name.
My grandmother said to my mother, "Ok! I'll be right back." When my grandmother left the room, she walked around the hospital, trying to think of a name. The hospital that my mother was in is called Kapiolani Hospital. There was a legend through that name Kapiolani. The hospital was named after
a queen which is Kapiolani, but her middle name was Julia. When my grandmother was walking around the hospital, she looked all over to see if she could find a name. She looked at the Queen's picture, and there was the Queen's name. In the picture, her name was Queen Kapiolani
Julia, and there is more to it. My grandmother looked at the picture, and she saw the name Julia. She ran to my mother's room and said, "You should name your daughter Julia." So then, my mother named me Julia.

ReplyDeleteThis is a great story. I was just thinking that we never did hear why so many people also call you Tina. We do know that Spade calls you Julia Gulia though! :)
