Why My Name Should Be Hortense Crotchfeldt
Hortense Crotchfeldt is my favorite name. When it comes down to it, “Kelly Wilson” is a fairly generic name. I’ve always loved my first name for a variety of reasons. In a generation of Stephanies, Jennifers, and Lauras – all names that I envied as a child – my first name stood out as unusual. […]
