The Name Game

Alot of folks think I was named after Aretha Franklin, but how I got my name is kinda different than most folks. (least I think so lol)
My mom was sitting around one day trying to come up with a girl's name, and nothing really came to mind, so she got a sheet of paper and wrote down my Grandma's name, Girtharee, and started playing with the letters, and that's how she came up with Aretha.

I did a quick look-up at Behind the Name, just for fun :)

ARETHA ... English
Pronounced: a-REETH-a
Derived from Greek arete meaning "virtue".
