for some odd reason my mom let a 6 yr old boy name me (my brother)...his best friends were named Kristy and Tiffany...he decided to flip a coin...heads Tiffany, tails Kristy...it landed on tails and he changed the spelling so my name is Cristy... the middle name...my grandma and my aunt wanted me to be named after both of them so my mom combined their names, Deborah and Rena, and came up with Debrena...
