Personal experiences with the name Cheryl

I honestly used to hate the name Cheryl growing up everyone told me they had an older aunt or that their mother was named Cheryl and I was never a fan. However, as I grew up I learned that the name was very unique just like me. It is professional, yet sweet, and diffrent just like me. My parents named me Cheryl because I was the second baby and my sisters name is Chelsea so why wanted names that went together. However, growing up no one was ever able to get our names state so be aware of that. My full name is Cheryl Lyn but I always liked to put my first and middle name together as Cherylyn.
