Personal experiences with the name Destri : | Edit

This is my name, spelled with an "i" I was supposed to be a boy when I was born (The umbilical cord was between my legs!) and was to be named after my father. They had a baby girl and no name, so while they pondered it, The book cart came by at the hospital and my dad picked out "Destry Rides Again" then, about an hour later, the movie came on. That's when my parents decided I was "destined" to be "Destri"
