My mom picked out my name based on a tv show that she liked at the time. I can remember her telling me that she had an idea of what I would look like based on that character (I do not). The name was very popular the year I was born and was on the cheerleading squad with two other Brittanys my entire high school career. My name is of Latin origin and it literally means "from Brittany or Britain." I think if we aren't careful, we can create preconceived notions based on students name before we truly get to know our students. This is why it's so important to be educated.
