Why Name, Why?

My first name is Alexandra which is a Greek baby name meaning the defender of men. But why did my parents chose it? There are 2 specific reasons for my name. 1. My grandfather who passed away before I was born was named Alexander and I take it that he was well liked among the family. 2. My mom likes this butterfly named the Queen Alexandra so she had something to contribute to the choosing of my name. Cool and tragic. But if I would be given the opportunity to chose my name I would chose the name Myra. Why Myra you say? It's unique. How many people do you know have the name Myra. Maybe no one. And the name Myra is related to the Latin and Slavic words for "wonder", "peace" and "wonderful." So basically me. (Not to be so self centered but it's true.) But then again I like my name and am happy that my parents didn't name me after a food item (like bacon) or a celebrity that ended up going looney. So be thankful of the name you were given. 

This is the Queen Alexandra butterfly, the largest in the world.
