My name is special because I kept my original last name Cleary as my middle name and my last name is Stine from my husband.

The Cleary name is Irish and means descendant of the clerk. This means they were poets, clerks and clergy.

My first name is Kimberly which I prefer but I go by Kym. This is because there were 3 Kimberlys in my 4th grade class. To make things more simple we all adopted a name. One was Kim, one was Kimberly and I was Kym. Most of my life I have either been called "Cleary" or "Stine" and not by my first name.
