My blog name

Some people may wonder how our family got a nice Irish name like Kelly.

The story I heard was that when my grandfather opened a butcher shop in Toronto's Cabbagetown the customers couldn't pronounce his Macedonian name. To them it sounded like Kelly because most of them were Irish. The name stuck. When we get together it is a Kelly reunion.

So Kelly is a real name in our family. Just not my legal name. And I like that with my first name beginning with the letter A it reads " a" kelly because that's what I am and always will be. A Kelly...from Cabbagetown.
