For years I had no idea why my parents named me Sherri. I knew it wasn’t a family name, so I wondered if it was just a name they picked out of a book or someone they admired or what. I finally got my answer a few years ago. I am named after an old Andy Williams song called, “Sherry!” that he wrote for the 1967 musical “Sherry!” based on the play The Man Who Came to Dinner.
Now if you read my blog post from the other day I have no idea where I heard that tidbit or if it’s actually true because I can’t remember squat. But I do believe one of my parents told me that in the not too distant past and I jotted it down because I know my memory sucks. lol. But somewhere someone told me that little tale and I stuck in my memory bank (a.k.a. Notes on my iPhone) and now it lives in infamy. Take a listen to the song and tell me those lyrics just aren’t the most fun, happiest lyrics ever?? They fit me to a ‘T’! Way to go, ‘rents! Great job on picking out my name – I think you helped form my personality just from picking that fun song!
So there you go. The story of how I got my name. How did you get your name?
