My favorite name stories are Katie’s and Noor’s, mostly because they’re the only ones I’ve heard so far. How would you feel if your name was changed after birth like Noor's? Such a cool story! Tell me your name story in the comments below!
My name, if you haven't already figured it out (HINT: blog name!), is Hima.
In Sanskrit, Hima means snow. It also has some vaguely religious connotation that I'm not entirely sure of, but it basically means snow.
I was born on September 24th, 1997 in Minnesota.
September is very early for snow. It snowed on September 24th, 1997. My name is Hima.
Logical, right?

Now, I’ve grown to love it. Let’s be real- my whole name is 10 letters long. That’s precious time you’re saving when each of your teachers make you write out your whole name on each paper? It’s easy. 4 simple letters, and easy to remember. And, it’s unique. Who have you ever met named Hima? I guarantee you you’ve met a Jennifer, or a Jessica, or a Christine. (not that those aren’t gorgeous names), but never another Hima.
With a name only 4 letters long, you don’t get a lot of nicknames. Or so I thought. People call me anything from Himster to Heemz to Himaglobin, and I love it!
(Except when teachers call me Heemz- just a tad bit weird).
My favorite is Princess. It's pretty accurate.
What's the story behind your name? Do you have any nicknames? I'd love to hear them, so let me know in the comments below!

ReplyDeleteHima is such a lovely name! My name is super generic, I've met a lot of Jessica's in my life (some with the same surname as me too!). Everyone calls me Jessica and a few close friends call me Jess but starting 2011, when I started working at a new retailer, everyone started calling me Jess so now I'm so used to being called Jess that Jessica sounds... different, does that make sense? My parents were considering naming me Jennifer or Vivian (both names were somewhat disliked my both parents) but Jessica was a last minute suggestion by a close family name and my parents loved it instantly. No significant story behind it.
ReplyDeleteI just found out my name is destined to become an old lady's name...popular at one point but has fallen out of favor. Hima is a unique name and lovely. One of my boys is an Eli and you wouldn't think you could shorten that, but we call him E a lot of time! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is indeed SO sweet name . Snow , I love snowing <3 You already know the meaning of my name , but you-know-what , you're a month younger than me lady (I'm an August 16th '97 baby) These childhood pictures are so precious!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your name! It's so pretty and unique!! I love the snow story behind it :) *sigh* I will be calling you Himagoblin from now on - just sounds like Hogwarts, a place with which I am obsessed.

ReplyDeleteI'm absolutely LOVING your name and the meaning behind it!! Oh and those photos, too cute for words!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jess! ;) I know a lot of Jessicas, but I don't call any of them Jess. I'm not really sure why, since I love to shorten names!
ReplyDeleteI love your name- I know at least 5 Michelles. Where did you hear it was an old lady's name? Thank you :)

ReplyDeleteThanks Ash! :) Himaglobin is perfect- My bio teacher always insists on calling me that! Girl, I LOVE Harry Potter. Have you been to the Wizarding World?
