StarlaDT said...

My mom wanted to name me something very unique but beautiful. My uncle wanted to name me Star, so my mom was looking in a Baby book, and saw Starla. She also wanted to name me after her in a way, so She took her middle name (dawn) and made it more unique, so it was Dawnyelle. That's How i got my name Starla Dawnyelle. Mom jokes around at my short temper sometimes and says she could have named me Silver Bullet instead, but i like my name just fine. =) (You all have such pretty names)
