Espadrilla Testarilla.
Yep, that's what it says on my birth certificate. Don't ask. Don't even go there.
When I was a kid I asked Mother "What WERE you thinking?". Really, I already knew the answer to that. It was 1970. What was ANYBODY thinking back then?!!
She answered, "Your name has poetry and motion. It sings. It has a soul."
I said, "Mother, an espadrille is a freakin' shoe."
She answered, "To carry you far on a wonderous journey."
Aw, man. Boomers. Freakin' Woodstock Generation Baby Boomers.
Espadrilla - Individuality, that is what I see in that name. the 70s was quite a decade!
Being memorable is good! I like your mother's thinking! But, then I was a child of the 60's too!
Just checked your profile Never mind LOL
Pretty funny...but I guess there were some good drugs back then:) Does your photo resemble your parents? Rilla is still a nice unique name so I wouldn't worry about it....I hate my name and wish they would send it back so I could change it before anyone notices.
All Right let's take it easy on the boomers. Just think she could have named you Hey You but thought better of it. Dem drugs had many a song written after them. Just wish I could remember the 60's. LOL

Rilla - why do you Highland Park realtors all look like South Park refugees?
I am a boomer, but, named my kids Aaron & Seana (shawna). Guess I wasn't tokin on anything to potent at the time!

Haaaaaaa! What can I say? I have tears in my eyes. I can't type anymore... (LMAO)
Rilla, you have a very interesting profile. I also like your hair. Are you a natural redhead? Do you have siblings?
