people how she got her name. While pregnant with her, I was visiting a
cemetery looking for relatives. My husband got a little bored and was
wandering around other parts of the cemetery. On the way home, he
mentioned a name that he had seen on a gravestone that he liked - Syrena.
I liked the name but said I wanted a simpler spelling - Serena. Years
later my daughter and I went back to the cemetery and found the gravestone and
took a photo of it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

There waa also another female Carroll that I knew but it is unusual. That
spelling is a last name and very popular in the South as I think there was
a Gen. Carroll in the CW, a Confederate. I think my great grandmother had
something to do with the spelling as she was b in VA in 1852 and her father
fought for the South. Mom would never acknowledge that might be where she got
the spelling as that was from my Dad's side of the family. She just said she
saw it on a florist's sign in Portland, OR and thought it was pretty. I guess
it was better than the April she was planning on naming me.</span></strong><span
