Personal Narrative: My Name Of Hebrew

Decent Essays
In Hebrew, my name means grace. I feel like the meaning of the name does not fit me but the name itself does. When most people figure out my name they always say that I look like Hannah. It is very easy to pronounce and it sounds like it is spelled. I have no idea where I got the name from because no one in my family has had the name Hannah. The people that named me were my parents. The reason they are the ones that named me is because they are the ones that created me. I have never really asked what my name would have been if I was a boy. I think I wasn't a surprise so they already knew I was going to be a girl. I like my name a lot. It is easy to pronounce and it just seems to suit my personality. If I could have another name, I think

    There are many stories told in my family. Anyone and everyone told them, some nights it would be my mom and other nights it would be my grandpa. There would always be two stories read; the first one would be from a book called “My Book of Bible Stories”. This book has so many pictures asks questions has descriptive words and is still one of my favorite books.
