Hedwig as she is

Check the Gregorian calender 16oct ....ST HEDWIG. Yes I was born on that day. My late grandfather named me Hedwig after a German saint. When I started school it was difficult for them to pronounce my name. I was like thinking why didn't he name me Mary - its a saints name too. So much easier to call. Instead of HEDWIG or HEAD WIG your head full of wig thats what i heard most of the time. It was fun for them but me I was cursing most of the time, Bless her....
so i decided to take the matter into my own hands, I changed my name to Heidi till today I am known as Heidi but in my ID it remains as Hedwig for official use only. As you grow older you appreciate the name given , the meaning behind it and it makes u start to think it is a very beautiful name fit for a queen. Please check online on Queen Hedwig. I did not see it then....But its not too late. I have named my blog simply Hedwig.........not forgetting Harry Porter's owl is called Hedwig too. Welcome to the club, HEDWIG.
