Karleen Bradford: Hello. My name is Karleen Bradford. Karleen is an unusual name, and I'll tell you how I got it. When I was born, my parents were expecting a boy. They had picked out a good boy's name, Robert Graham, but no girl's name. When I arrived, they had to think fast. My dad's name was Karl. My mother's was Ilene, so they put the two together, and came up with Karleen. I'm pretty sure they were the first ones to invent this name, although I have heard of a few more Karleens in recent years. Are there any more out there? I'd love to hear from you. Bye now.
