Elisa Kleven: Hello, my name is Elisa Kleven. That's Elisa, like Lisa with an E at the beginning. And Kleven like eleven. That's E-L-I-S-A, K-L-E-V-E-N.
My older sisters and brothers named me. When I was waiting to be born, my mother read them a Hans Christian Andersen story, the Wild Swans about a princess named Elisa. My siblings liked the name and asked my mother to name the baby Elisa if it was a girl, so my name is Elisa. Bye-bye.
