Since I don't have Tumblr, I'll just talk about the meaning behind my actual name: Alexis Tia Diller.
Alexis was chosen by parents. My dad was leaning towards Alexandra or Alexandria but my mom thought that was too long so Alexis it was.
It's a little amusing how I got my middle name. I was named after my mom's Aunt, whom they called Tia. Well, my mom's side is Mexican, and Tia means Aunt in Spanish. So her name wasn't actually Tia. So my middle name is Aunt??? ;)
Diller is a German name. It's interesting because our original family name was Tüller and it changed to Diller around the 1700's. Still a mystery to me but all I can guess is that when they got off the boat to America it went down like, "What's your name?? Dots on the U??? What? Ok, how about DILLER??" --- yea I don't know.
