What is your full name? My full name - before marriage was Shelly Ann Grillo. My full name now is Shelly Ann Keene - I did not choose to keep my maiden name as part of my new married name. People are always asking me if my "real" name is Michelle, but it's not. I used to get upset about that. People also ask if there is an "e" at the end of my name - I guess that is a pretty common question. My 1st grade teacher - Mrs. Bissonnette - always insisted that I spell my name Shelley (because that was the right way) and I used to get really upset about that. Finally, my mother had to go in to the school and tell her that SHE was wrong!
Were you named after someone? I am not named after anyone and honestly, I don't know where my parents came up with that name. I heard stories that they tossed around the name Ann Marie for me but I am glad they did not name me that! Not that it is a bad name (and I guess if it was my name I would like it), but I just don't care for it.
