How did I get my name? Why am I Bailey Harp? A lot of people have asked my mom and dad about my name, especially my middle name so I thought that I would tell you about it. My mom and dad really can’t put their finger on where they got the name Bailey from but it was something they both just really liked. I guess it is a good thing that I was a girl because although they had decided on a girl’s name, they were pretty undecided on a boy’s name.
My middle name is Harp and some people have asked if it is a family name but it isn’t. In college, my mom made a best friend and her name was Candace Harp. Candace, from what I hear, was pretty cool and had an incredible passion for life and was really outgoing and loving and fun and crazy and the most loyal friend a person could have. She died, unexpectedly and (after a long time of research and tests) unexplainably on May 14, 2002 (which, coincidently is the day I came home from the hospital to start my new life!). She was only in her early 20’s and working on her master’s degree at Kent State. So, in remembrance of her, my mom and dad gave me her last name as my middle name…I only hope I can live up to it and be half of the vivacious person she was!
