The Story of My Name



The Story of My Name

My name is Andres Thomas Rodriguez. Before I was named, my parents looked at the baby books for names. Most of the names they liked were common.

My mom was hooked on a Mexican soap opera. In one of the soaps there was a character named Andres, who was noble and handsome. She said he was classy just like what she hopes I grow up to be. She made up her mind to name me Andres.

My dad wanted a name that was original and could be translated, since his family speaks Spanish. He liked David, but that was too common. My dad is a big tennis fan. His favorite player is Andre Agassi. He quickly agreed.

My dad chose my middle name, Thomas. He liked the T as an initial, since his dad always wrote his name with that middle initial. He also liked that no one else had that name in our family. He thought it was a good idea that I should have a middle name to help protect my identity.

This is the story of how my parent chose my name.
