Okay so "Elly" is far from my real name for my name really is "Khrishelle" so let me first tell a story onto how I got that name then i'll tell you where on earth I got "Elly" for a nickname. Since i'm the first born my parents wanted a name that would represent their love for each other and they thought that the best way for that to happen is to combine their names as one. "Khri" came from "Christopher"; my father's name. They changed the "C" to "k" for they thought that it would look better then "she" is from "Sheba" my mom's name. Of course you'll be wondering about the "lle" well they told me that it stands for "LoLa Elaine", my grandmother. They added it for me to remember to be thankful and look back to not only my parents but also to my grandparents for somehow I owe them my life just as much as I owe it to my parents. As promised the origin of "Elly". Well I hated my name idk why tho and I grew up as the clingy and childish member of the family so they address me as "khrishelly" to add some "cuteness" to it. Then just this summer I had a new mission in life which is to grow in and with God and to serve His church and His people. Come one Sunday our pastor preached about Jesus's disciples on how most of them have "eli" in their names. He said that "eli" means "God". So with my new mission and new school I wanted to have a new life. So I adapted "elly" to remind myself of that mission. 💕
