In March, each student wrote the story of how they got their name. Here
they are together.

Alexander, but I was a girl so she called me Alexis because I look like
an Alexis. My dad called me stormy because when I was born it was a

like that name. My middle name is from my mom’s step dad Arthur Dey. My
