When my mom was pregnant with me everyone said she was having a boy. So, they gave me the name John, after my father. Well, to their surprise the boy turned out to be a girl. So, I'm Lisa named after Ms. Gabor's character on the TV show "Green Acres". My middle name is quite unique -it's half of the original last name of my paternal grandmother (my father's attempt to try to keep the family name). The orginial name is Bearballsingh. The nurse misspelled the name so my middle name is Birball. I've tried to research both paternal lastnames. We do stem from India and Africa. Found the origin of the African side but I don't know where in India we are from on both my maternal and paternal side.
Interesting name story.
