I went to Kelby. My mother told me this story - she repeated it a while back - in kindergarten I came home one day and said, 'Mom, Sterling eight letters and Kelby five years old. I'll just do Kelby and then when I'm 16, I'll go with Sterling. 'And I do not remember that. The impetus for me was that he had been away for some time, and I was like, 'Kelby is a little boy's name.' I feel like I'm ready to be Sterling.
