Andromeda is Her

Some names are meant to be remembered. Andromeda is one of them. In this episode of The Given Name Podcast, we sit down with comedian, mother, and unapologetically herself, Andromeda ‪@1actdramaisfunny‬ to explore the story behind one of the most unforgettable names I’ve encountered. From family debates about who chose her name to discovering its roots in Greek mythology, Andromeda shares how she grew into a name that has always stood apart. We also talk about why she refuses nicknames and insists people learn to say her name correctly. Our conversation explores the assumptions people make based on names, including how Andromeda believes her distinctive name may have influenced opportunities throughout her career. Together, we unpack identity, first impressions, and what it means to own your name without apology. Filled with laughter, honesty, and plenty of motivation, this episode also explores motherhood, ambition, and Andromeda’s belief that if you truly want something, you’ll work for it. It’s a conversation about confidence, resilience, and the power of deciding who you are before the world decides for you. #givennamepodcast #andromeda #namesmatter #blackstoriesmatter #identity #storytelling #women #comedy #greekmythology #career #motivation #humanresources #resume #discriminationawareness
