My name “Hosanna” means praise, joy, adoration and it can be related to the word “alleluia”. My parents are Born-Again Christians, and so am I. My name came from the bible obviously. I asked my parents before if my name was unique, because I usually felt that I'm the only me in the whole world. Turns out that my mom searched for people who had the same name as mine, and to my relief, I wasn't the only one. Growing up with my name, I'm usually teased when my classmates practice their mass songs because somehow my name's in a song. Anyways, I grew up being used to being teased like that. I have a nickname “Shane” because it should have been my second name. So many people are usually shocked when I say that it isn't actually part of my name, should've been but wasn't. So this is the story of my name.
