My mom's name, Peggy(she's from the country), is the nickname form of Margaret and Megan is another form of Margaret. Oh yeah, my middle name is a combination of my grandmother's name Frankie Jean and my mother's baby daddy name Wille Ray; and you have Jerai.

My parents didnt wanna name me an ordinary common name, so my dad was at the library and came across an African baby name book. He was looking thru the J's and came across JAMILA which is Swahili and means beautiful. My middle name was found in a different name book which is RENATA. Its Latin and means to be born again. So my name is JAMILA RENATA H****

Middle name: Calvina (pronounced cal-vee-na) . . . . my father's name is Calvin and so is my older brother's . . .i was the next child and thsi was supposed to be my first name but my mother said "Nah!!!" . . .so it became my middle name!! Last name: Rhodes . . . believeit or not my parents are married so naturally this was to be my last name!!!!!
