I've never done the Thursday Thirteeen yet, so here goes:

Thirteen Things about YOUR NAME 1. Shelly is my middle name 2. Shelly, not Shelley 3. My first name is Karen 4. My mother thought I was twins. "We" were going to be Karen Shelly and Shannon Kelly. 5. Shelly is from a surname which was originally derived from a place name meaning "clearing on a bank" in Old English 6. Karen is the Danish form of Katharine, which means pure. 7. I wanted my name to be Michelle, becauseof the beatles song;) I got to choose my granddaughter's middle name. I picked Michelle. 8. I have had lots of nicknames over the years 9. Shellybean 10. Shellbell 11. Sea Shell 12. Shells (in high school mostly) 13. My close friends call me Shell :-) Links to other Thursday Thirteens! 1. (leave your link in comments, I’ll add you here!)

The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!
