My name is Andrea

I don’t know what it means, but I like it. My second name is Violeta. My parents decided on that name because my mom’s name is Violeta too. Violeta means a color, like a purple. It also means a flower.
My name makes me remember my mom, of course.
I don’t know more about my name, just that my dad wanted my name to be Daniela, but my mom said no because his and my brother’s name is Daniel, so my name is Andrea.
