ending will find one. Besides the narrative, change is also reflected in the names of certain characters. The dispositions of certain characters-- particularly Sofia, Shug Avery, and Fonso-- and the changes other characters experience as their circumstances evolve-- particularly those of Mr. _____/ Albert, Pa/ Daddy, Squeak/ Mary Agnes, and Reverend _____/ Samuel-- are reflected through their names. Sofia, Shug, and Fonso’s names all give insight into who they are as characters, which in turn…

“Star Children.” “Yes.” “Why?” “I don’t know.” We are not children. We are women, seniors, everything. But we look like children. Teens, even. But we are hundreds of thousands of years old. That is our secret. Star Children! Such a corny name. However, we became this for a reason; we are sprites. Shapeshifters. Some of us are angels. Others are just supernaturals. Nevertheless, we are all members of the magical community. -------------------- We’re trying to track them down. The Enemy.…

The Story of My Search As I began planning for the name research paper my English teacher gave me, I was not exactly sure what I would get out of it. The topic of the essay didn’t exactly speak to me because I already knew how I got my name and the meanings of it, so I did not know if I would learn something new. But as I began to research the meanings of my names, I realized that there is a lot more to a person’s name. In the first week of our research, we went to the library, and I used…

I do not like my name, although I should be grateful to have a not so common name. I wish I had common names like other people. I wish I would fit in. Maybe having a name like others would help me to fit in. A name like Abigail, Mia, or even Chloe. Names others wish to change, I wish to have. My name means independent. It is brave, it means self-sufficient. It is my dad’s mothers name. My grandmother. She was a strong woman. One with cancer. She was brave. She was independent. I am supposed to…

My name seemingly means noble and strength, but looking at myself, I don’t understand where that is coming from. Saying that I have strength would be like saying the sun isn’t hot, simply untrue. Most people perceive me for being a fairly scrawny person with not entirely a lot of muscle. I went through this horrifying moment at my FBLA conference where our chapter participated in multiple team building activities at the national guard military base, meaning everyone would individually need to…

get excited when people ask me what my full name is. Even though my middle name is popular (and apparently my first name, too), it feels like everything falls into place when I say, “Emma Elizabeth Eichenberger” because my initials spell out “EEE”, which perfectly describes the squealing noise I make whenever I’m excited about something. Ask my friends, and they’ll tell you I’m just about pumped for anything. My parents always told me that they had a name picked out for me well before I was…

more than you? Your name. The word your parents may have spent weeks, even months trying to decide on. The word they signed on a form at the hospital making you officially you. The word you will be identified with for the rest of your life; for me this name is Brittany Rose Walz. The first name Brittany come from the northwest region of France, Bretagne. Bretagne is a French province named for the Briton settlers fleeing after the invasion of the Algon-Saxon on England. The name Brittany was…

“So your name is tía, like as in aunt in Spanish.” asked the boy who has only taken one year of Spanish, which he slept through. “Well, uh, no,” I started, “ it’s spelled differently. There’s not an accent over the I.” My name has always been a little unusual, and I have always had to explain that it did not mean aunt in Spanish, nor was it spelled like the warm drink. Constantly having to explain my name has made me hate me it. While not everyone appreciates their name, researching and learning…

in the family. Her love of music is encompassed around about her by the rays of the Sun. And let us not forget the nephew that has made his name known nationally. Within the confines’ of her magnificence house, turmoil, deceit, prejudice, beauty, strife and confusion exists, but it is a place we call home. If Memphis were a person, I would give her the name of Auntie M; the aunt that has many relatives, from different…
