A 39 year old woman from Houston, Texas named 📛Girl, yes, Girl... is trying to change her legal birth name to 📛Sandra.
"Girl" goes already by Sandra however. Sandra Wardlow was raised by a first cousin on her mother's side. Sandra's mother didn't name her at birth and so her birth certificate names her as "Girl." When her mother passed away months later, Sandra was left without a legal name. She's been going through the legal process to change her name time and time again but has been unsuccessful still.
Sandra says, "Even if I wanted to leave it as 'Girl,' they will not give me a Social Security card that says 'Girl.' I’ve been in this world for almost 40 years, and I don’t have a name. For someone to tell you that you don’t exist, or you have to prove your citizenship to some places and you literally cannot."
This is very interesting. And very unfortunate that Sandra's mother didn't get a chance to name her, before she died. What name would she have chosen for her daughter? It wasn't told why she goes by the name Sandra, out of all the names she could choose for herself. Was Sandra her mother's name? Or the family member who raised her? 🤔
Hearing the name 'Girl' isn't so strange to me because my paternal grandmother (RIP) actually had a stillborn son that was named: 📛Boy (RIP). I don't know the backstory on why a proper name wasn't chosen for him.
Sandra's story is a 
cautionary tale in a sense for parents who don't name their child immediately or soon after she/he is born! Having had favorite baby names picked out for years, I personally can't fathom not having your child's name picked out before their birth. 😱
Here's to Sandra somehow, finally achieving her dream of being legally named as 📛Sandra. 🤞🏾
