Unit Zero Short Response Prompt

My name is Kelly Marie McMahon and I've never really disliked it. My first name means warrior/defender and is Celtic.I was named Kelly because I believe it was my mom's second choice for me. She was going to name me Ashley but my Aunt had a daughter a few months before I was born and named her Ashely. Therefore, my first name really does not have any special meaning to my family. As for my middle name, Marie, I believe my mom gave it to me because it was easy and she just liked it.

My last name gets a little more complicated. My Mother was married and divorced before I was born and she never changed her name back to her maiden name. She gave me her last name when I was born and not my fathers. My last name should be Chaillou which is my fathers last name and as far as I know it has never been changed at any point of my family's history. As far as my last name, McMahon, I do not believe it has ever been changed either. It is Irish and my mother's ex husbands family was from Ireland.

Even though the history of my name is confusing I still like it. It is who I am and what I was named.
