    Hello CHEVYSNTATS

    Your first name Jana is almost pronounced the same as my last (there is no w-sound in mine)

    Actually, one of my aunts is called Jana - and is a bit rare here too.

    Janna on the contrary is a very old common name. It is the female form of Jan - which is John in English.

    Most of the Janna's (or Johanna's) today are calling themself Jannie.

    Yes, I like my name now. I didn't for a long time since Kelly was considered a boy's name when I was little. I didn't have a cutesy spelling either........ Kellie or Kelley or Kelli to identify me as a girl. So, I was always on the altar boys' list at my school but never got out of class cuz, I was really a girl!!

    My name means "brave" .......... I think many times I have been brave so, I'll keep it.

    My birth name was Sherryl Neva Bealer. Now NO one called me Sherryl except my mom when she was angry (which was often). Everyone always called me Sherry. I have always felt like a Sherry, I look like a Sherry (people tell me), and I like the name Sherry. Plus most of the Cheryls I ever knew were bitches. Not all, not all!!! Neva is my mom's first name. Now, having been abused by my mom, I really don't have an affinity to having her name in the mix, but I can tell you that it being unusual I won a bit of lunch money on bets that people couldn't guess what the N stood for. As for the Bealer, well I legally changed that and kept the last name of my son, much easier, and I really never felt a big connection to it.
