Well my name isn't Mina, that's just my user name. I was born in a hospital ran by Roman Catholic nuns and when I was born, one of the nuns brought me in to see my mom and she asked what was my name because my mom hadn't picked out a name for me yet. So my mom said she didn't know and the nun suggested naming me Starla. The nun told my mom that when she was 16 she got pregnant and gave birth to a baby girl, but she died shortly after she was born and she named her Starla. Then she decided on becoming a nun after that. My mom thought that was a nice name so that's what she named me.

My mum was in a train and two people walked in, who she thought were sisters, becuase they got on so well together. My mum made friends and kept in touch- she sent the older one a letter saying "How are you, how is your sister?" And the girl wrote back, "she's not my sister shes my daughter." And my mum called me Emilia, after the daughter becuase she wanted to have the same relationship with me as the two she met on the train.

I was named after my two great great Grand mothers. One was Elizabeth Anne and the other was Cynthia Jane. I ended up Cynthia Anne. Could have been worse, they were thinking Heidi.
