Definition Essay: Why I Like My Name

Improved Essays
My Name I think I have a really unique name. I also think that people have a personality in their name. Don't you think when you look at someone and know their name they kind of look like their name? I like my name because it means pure. The word pure is a special word that is very meaningful to me. I also think that all people should like their names. Well, sometimes your name is so bad that you can't stand it and that is the only excuse! I have a name that is pretty similar to my twin sister's name Kylee. I got my middle name from my grandma and it means little Alice. Mine and my grandma's middle name is Allyson. I think Allyson is a really peaceful and pretty middle name. The name Allyson is English and is in one of the top 1,000 names …show more content…
When Kylee and I were born my mom decided that she would name every one of her children with the letter ¨K¨ at the beginning and “ee” at the end. That was what happened! My family goes like this. Mom, Dad, Kylee, Kaylee, Kambree, Karlee, Kassidee. She had twin boys and she wanted to switch it around. So she named them with a ¨C¨. Their names are Conner and Cooper. I know what you are thinking, two twins in one family! That’s what I'm thinking too. So, my name is Kaylee. The meaning of Kaylee is pure and slender. I know that the pure is right because, I am a very good student and sister to all of my sisters and brothers. Slender means slim, lean, and sometimes graceful. That is also right because I am skinny, tall, and graceful. The origin of my name is English and Hawaiian. It is spelled ¨Kaili¨ in Hawaiian. It is cool that my name is in Hawaii too. I think if my name was a color it would be bright yellow. Yellow represents that I am sunny and bright. I am always full of energy and I am very funny. Yellow also means that I am fun and adventurous. To me, the color yellow is a very bright color that represents me because, it is bright and full of energy. I knew a girl would pick pink or their favorite color like pink or purple. Unique is my thing! I am a very amazing

    When Ashna’Beah first came along I was already four months pregnant. My breathing partially off, feet swollen to the ankles, waddling around like a penguin. I didn’t like her because she was actually really pretty. She had a large nose but for the most part, her full lips and burnt orange colored eyes made me overly jealous; made me feel insecure. She wasn’t so attractive to the point that it made her unapproachable but her looks just made you wonder what she was doing in a place like this.…

    Imagine how the distinctive name you will choose fits to your surname; it should also not to be funny as your child to not become the drudge of jokes later. When you choose a rare name it is best to keep it short, easy to remember and write down. Think also to the time when your child will be teenager and later, an adult person, so that make sure she/he will not be afraid of spelling her/his name. What seems cute and interesting to 3 years old could not be the same to the age of 17 or 60 years. Just imagine your baby at these ages and be sure that the name you chose is a proper one for her/him!…
