A Father's Legacy, January, #2 Your Name

Who gave you your name and why?

Did you have a nickname? How did you get it?

As my mom tells it, she gave me my name.  She says she had a friend in school who was named Aaron.  And, there was a TV show called the Big World of Little Aaron.  She liked the name and the show and my name became Aaron.  She also liked the name Cree from the Cree Indian Tribe,  and I became Aaron Cree.

No nickname.  At best, some friends in high school liked calling people by their name...backwards.  So, some called me Noraa.  Not really a nickname though.
