This is such a wonderful way to name someone! I was named after my great-grandmother and my grandmother and disliked my name for it's complications in an American society and hated my nickname because of the rhymes fellow classmates would make of it. It took others saying it out loud in the country my name came from for me to come to peace with it and wear it proudly now. I'm going to have to think up a song...☺️

When you think up a song, let me know—I want to hear it. But I’m glad you made peace with your name.

My mom’s favorite singer...Frank Sinatra!

And thus...

If I don't see her each day, I miss her

Gee, what a thrill each time I kiss her

Believe me, I've got a case

On Nancy with the laughin' face

She takes the winter and she makes it summer

And summer could take a few lessons from her

Picture a tomboy in lace

That's Nancy with the laughin' face

Did you ever hear mission bells ringin'?

Well, she'll give you the very same glow

When she speaks you would think it was singin'

Just hear her say hello

I swear to goodness you can't resist her

Sorry for you, she has no sister

No angel could replace

Nancy with the laughin' face

composed in 1942 by Jimmy Van Heusen,

with lyrics by Phil Silvers,

originally recorded by Frank Sinatra in 1944

This is so timely for me as I prepare a workshop for youth introducing the "Power of the Pen" to write an Acrostic poem! Thanks Phyllis, if you recall, you planted the seed. This Boost waters it!😊
