My Name

CAMBRI

As a child I always wished that my parents had named me something other than Cambri. I wanted to be a Michelle or Ashley. I didn't understand why no one had the same name as I did. Growing up I started to like the fact that I was the only Cambri.(At least that I knew of..) It made me feel unique and different. I liked that. I don't think that my parents had ever agreed on anything when they were married. So of course when I was born they weren't able agree on what to name me. My dad wanted to name me Bri and my mom wanted to name me Camille. My mom was always the "compromiser" and she thought to come to an agreement of Cambri. And that was that.. Considering my name was made up, it doesn't necessarily mean anything. But if I had to define my name I would say that it means compromising or sharing because that was how my name was created.My mother made a compromise and the two names were shared. As an adult I think that having a name that no one else has sets me apart from others and that makes me stand out.
