Holly L. Niner: Hello. My name is Holly Lee Hudson Niner, but I go by Holly L. Niner. Because my first name is Holly, people often ask me if I was born around Christmas. But I wasn't. I was born in February. My mother always says she just liked the name. I like my middle name, Lee, which is spelled L-E-E, because that was also my father's middle name. Hudson is my maiden name. That's your last name before you get married. What's funny about that is I also lived in Newburgh, New York, which is on the Hudson River. When I was young, sometimes I got jokes about my last name being Hudson. Niner is my married name. And that's a nice, easy name to tell people how to pronounce, because we just tell them it's like the number nine and then add the letter R.
