The meaning behind the name…

                                                                                   Kelebek Ali

My reason behind my name is more about expressing myself. Kelebek means “Butterfly” in Turkish and “Ali” means “Wings” in Italian.

In the past couple of years, butterflies have been showing up in my life:

• my cousin put a butterfly sticker on my phone

• I got a butterfly necklace as a gift.

• Both are the images I used to teach my niece the word “butterfly” (the first word I taught her)

• my sister gave all her bridesmaids a butterfly necklace earlier this year;

• I had to hunt for a white shirt for a family photo shoot and it ended up having a butterfly on it.

I’ll be honest; I’ve never really noticed butterflies that much before, but at this point in my life, they seem to be a good representation of what I am currently going through.

At the moment, I am at that stage which Britney Spears described perfectly – “I’m not a girl, not yet a woman.” I am finding my own way which may be difficult at times but I’ll get there. I am hoping to Au Pair in the coming year which for me will be a big step as I have never left my country but it is something I really want to do in my life. This next year is where I change a lot and grow as a person – in other words – I’m growing my wings and learning to fly.

The choice in the languages were completely different, Kelebek I first heard on the x factor season 5, it was the chosen name of one of my favorite performers, and like she did, I loved the sound of it. The decision to use “Ali” is because I love Italy, therefore I added a bit more of me into the name.
