Looking back upon all of the years I’ve heard people call out my name, I have definitely had mixed feelings about it. Ellie Rose Cuneio. I’ve never despised my name, but I have learned to love it. Just like, to me at least, months have different colors, I feel like names have the same effect. However, I feel like those things change when people assign me nicknames. Every nickname has a different perception.

I’ve always felt like I was born in the wrong generation. I sometimes wonder what it would be like to grow up in the 50’s when families stuck together better, girls and boys would “go together” and get chocolate shakes after school, and most especially, no social media to dismantle relationships or set certain standards. I have an old soul- and it’s a blessing and a curse. I would love to have the name Eleanor- and actually have people call me that. I feel like it fits me as a person, but a part of me will forever love my true name.
All in all, I never realized what my name means to me until I wrote this paper. I will always love my name. Everything behind it, everything that will come with it. I love how original it is, and what it means to me. Although sometimes I do wish my name was Eleanor, I can’t imagine how life would be without the name I’ve been called for sixteen years.
