Well my name is Sherelle Davis, I didnt liked my name when i was younger but as I got older, my name grew on me. People would pronounce my name wrong and that can be a bit annoying. Some people would make fun of my name such as She-rel-le. I like my name now because its spelled differently from others. My mother named me Sherelle because she was a big fan of the girl group "The Shirelles". My mother just spelled my name a little different. The Shirelles was one of the first of the late fifties and early sixties. They were 16 and 17 year olds from Passaia, New Jersey. During my mother pregnancy she use to play The Shirells a lot, and set the speakers by her stomach. My mother told me I was dancing in her stomach.

I have a lot of nicknames. Instead of calling me Sherelle a lot of people preferred to call me Rell for short. Some people just call me by my last name because its very easy to pronounce. I don't really care for my last name. I have my father last name Davis. Its a common last name, there is a lot of Davis on my father side and the family tree is steady growing.
