Title:

My Name

Post Text

What’s in a name? My name has a little piece of input from each family member. Jordan Leslie Taylor Burkhardt. The first name given by my adoring mother was a result of her wanting something fitting for her daughter. On an ultrasound she could see my thick dark hair, which reminded her of a young girl on a show she used to watch called Millennium. Knowing I would possess this unique trait she named me Jordan, the little girl’s name on the series. She had dark, thick curls. Leslie was chosen by my father. This was his father’s middle name and by giving be the same name, I was able to have a little piece of my grandfather even though I had never met him. Taylor was chosen by my brother and sister. My sister had always loved the name Taylor, and to name me was very special for her. My brother agreed Taylor was fitting for his new little sister. Most people laugh when they hear my long name. I love it though. It reminds me that an entire family was excited to have me join them.
