Well, my name is Nadine. My mother gave me the name. She inspired my name from, uh, leipanese actress. She, she liked her, so she gave me her name eventually. Uh, actually my name means that there is a sense of hope. And um, I think this is also a main character in myself. And um, actually I’m um, always try to be hopeful and um, open in the life.

And changing the name in my country, ah, actually it’s hard and takes multiple procedures and paper and of course a, uh, long time. So I’m not, ah, doing that. Um, I will stick to my name until the end.

My name is Nadine, and my mother gave it to me. She was inspired by a Lebanese actress she admired, so she decided to name me after her. My name actually means 'hope,' which I think reflects a core part of my personality. I always try to be hopeful and open to new experiences, but I believe this is more about my character than my name. I definitely like my name. It's cute and adorable, and while not super common in my country, it's not overly rare either. I don't plan on changing my name in the future because I'm happy with it. Changing your name in my country is a difficult process, requiring multiple steps, paperwork, and a lot of time. So, I'm not going to do that. I'll stick with my name until the end.
