What's in a name?

My birth name is Amy.  I lived in a spiritual community for 4 years where I studied yoga and meditation.  During that time, my teacher gave me the Sanskrit name "Kamala". Kamala means "lotus".  It is also another name for the Hindu Goddess Lakshmi.   I love both my names, and many of you know me by one or the other, and there's a little explanation of how my names have come about if you were wondering...
