U.S. Olympic volleyball badass Destinee Hooker knows
people are amused by her name ... she knows some people laugh ... but
she doesn't care ... she believes it's a "blessing."
Hooker --
who's CRUSHING it London right now (indoor team is undefeated!) -- tells
TMZ, "When it comes to my name, I honestly find nothing wrong with it. I
love my name."
Still, Destinee admits she's not deaf to the
jokes ... "I have been dealing with it since I was a child. People can
be childish."
There was almost no Destinee Hooker at all ... the
24-year-old tells us she nearly died at birth, and when she survived,
her father was inspired to give her the name "Destinee."
"Since I was a blessing, [my father] spelled it uniquely. So I am thankful to be here and glad my Dad gave me the name."
Desintee adds, "No reporters have asked me about my name. You are the first :) thank you for asking by the way."
