Why do I have this name? To understand why I became the owner of this magnificent name, you need to get acquainted with one story. I should have been born in just a week, so my mother was put on storage in the hospital. She still didn't know how she would name me, but she didn't think it was a big problem. Together with her, there was a woman in the ward, who was supposed to give to this world already the third child. It is worth noting that they communicated quite well with my mom throughout the hospitalization.

 This woman gave birth to a baby a couple of days earlier than my mother. And here... My mother witnessed how a husband met his wife — with a huge bouquet of scarlet roses and a gold ring (as a token of gratitude for their happiness).This woman in labor knew that my mother had not yet figured out how to name her baby, and said: "You know, my parents named me Aliona. And I have never regretted it. After all, no one calls me in such way! For everyone, I am Alionushka! Do you feel how fabulous?"

 

All these events left such an imprint on my mother's soul that she already clearly saw that she would give birth to a happy girl who would constantly live like in a fairy tale. And she will call her — Alionushka!

Who gave you this name? Considering the fact that relations in my family are based on care, mutual understanding, and concessions, my father, giving credit to the fact that my mother had been carrying me for all nine months under her heart, said that he would gladly accept any name suggested by her.
