My name means special to me because I’m named after a Saint, and my mum's first brother. Usually you are supposed to be named after your dad's family but instead I was named after my first uncle. I like being named after him. He's a good inspiration. His name is Mamana and so is mine. My second name Francis was chosen by my first aunts my dad’s eldest sister Sr Leva Vaihu. Because she wanted me to be named after a Saint so she chose Saint Francis of Assisi. Saint Francis is my favourite saint so it’s a great honour to be named after him. Francis was also my baptism name. I love my name and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love to be called Francis Mamana Jnr Vaihu Veikoso.
