Middle Named by Jullia

May be the reason my mother did not give me a middle name was because, it was meant to be a gift from God.

When we met Julia, she was Yulia. We did not want to change her name so we gave her a significant middle name: Amanda (Loved one, amada) so her name is Julia Amanda Knowles.
Julia has learned to say her name, the name of “abue” (my mother), her brother’s, Grandma's, Grandpa, papi’s name and my name.

When I asked her the other day to say my name she said: mami rebe amanda knowles

So that’s it! It was meant to be. Julia has changed my name, I used to be Rebeca Knowles but now, she has Adopted me! and changed my name to Rebeca Amanda (Loved one) Knowles.

There is almost nothing left of the Rebeca Segebre Matera I used to be.
