For the past few years, utilization of eminent domain has been greatly debated. Eminent domain is the power of the government to extract one’s own property for communal operations in exchange for a reward. The just compensation clause in the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution grants its use in the United States. Though the legality of eminent domain is honest, citizens are still susceptible to this inequitable act of tyranny. First, the government will select the property they want to utilize.…
interesting and hilarious stories about how they were given their first and/middle names. Regrettably, I am not one of those people. Although I’m sure it would have been impressive to have a riotous tale. My Father did the most of the naming, as I’m told when asked about my name. He claimed that his Aunt did have a somewhat big influence into his choice. His Aunt’s full name is Laura Elizabeth Kennedy and liking the name Elizabeth, he abbreviated it and got Elise. My Father also said that he had…
The males are treated this way because they are then expected to stay with the family to take care of the elders later in life. Males are also wanted more than females because they are to carry on the family name. A female will typically marry another man which means that female’s last name will get changed and less of a chance to carry on the female’s…
learned from stories about my name. Before I came here, I got in touch with my roommate and told her that she can call me my English name if she considered it hard to articulate my Chinese name. But she told me she really wanted to learn how to read it and call me using my real name. Later I asked another friend whether she thought pronouncing my Chinese name to be a little inconvenient, but she answered without hesitation that she was willing to call me my real name—everyone could practice to…

meaning of your entire name,” requested Mrs. Beddingfield. I could not comprehend how I would balance my hectic schedule and write an essay on a topic as bleak as my name. Prior to my research, my name honestly did not have any sentimental meaning to me. As embarrassing as it is to admit, I honestly did not know the first thing about my first, middle, or last name. In the process of reading in the library and searching the Internet, I became restless in the pursuit of what my name meant to me,…
Everyone is given a name at birth that is unique and special to each individual. This title travels with them wherever they may go and whatever they may do. Malia Hi’ilani Mae Kema was the verbal gift given to me the day I was born. It is a name that I hold dear to my heart because it carries the love of my ancestors. My Hawaiian heritage is the first thing someone sees when they look at me and the first thing that is spoken when they utter my name. My father has taught me to be proud of my…
Fire Wolf Keegan Margaret Rudy. Middle names are overrated. Mine sounds like someone coughing up potato chips. I’ve thought about dropping it someday, but I know I can’t. Because it’s not quite mine. It's my grandma’s. The only thing she gave me. My first name means flame in Irish. But in the Rudy’s it means great-grandma who bakes. It means someone I never met, but am forced to care about. Too me it means Mr. Keegan Rudy, oh sorry, Mrs. It means Oh, wow, you're exactly how I expected you to be.…

I couldn 't just sit there and watch while he tries to get your heart, when your heart only belongs to me." Saying all those with his bloodied clothes, face, and body only strikes fear to you. The way he says '-chan ' sends shiver down your spine. "Now no one can get in our way. Right, (name) -chan?" You couldn 't…
Preferences for First and Last Names”, was a psychological research study done by Pacific Lutheran University.
