an older lady i work with emailed me the other day and told me the story of her name and asked me for mine. so cute?? i would love to hear name stories!!! i got my name because when my mom’s friend who worked in her office’s cafeteria found out she was pregnant, she said “you should name it paiton!” and my mom said the name just stuck with her until the end. the unique spelling was really just my mom taking creative freedom? but essentially, i was named by my mom’s lunch lady 🕺
