Personal name

My Name My name comes from a flower. Not a Rose, not a Lily, but an Alyssum. An Alyssum flower, like me, is small, cute and usually used to complement other bigger flowers. I have always been in the background, never really stood out, and the only time I’m usually recognized is when people say I’m cute. The Alyssum flowers name comes from Greek origins meaning “sanity” and was formally thought to cure skin diseases. Going through my life and figuring out who I am has made me realize that I…

I didn’t even know how to spell it, at first. I avoided using it in school and with friends. I rarely used it before 8th grade. I only started to use it after I transferred out of my old middle school to a new middle school. I didn’t like correcting teachers, it was embarrassing. It was especially embarrassing…

a more customary American first name instead of a more traditional Chinese first name, and what is so special about my first name Kevin. When I was younger, many of friends were too young to understand that my parents were trying to assimilate me into American society by giving me an American name.

in the Bible, but I never quite understood the meaning behind the name itself. I knew that my first name, Noah, was of Biblical origin, and that my middle name, Daniel, could have been too, but I had no idea where my last name, Swan, could have come from. From going to a Baptist church my whole life I knew the story of Noah and the ark, and knew some about Daniel in the Bible as well, but I was never told anything about my last name from my family, and I never researched it either. Going into…

and the name change game, most people have a solid opinion. Most have such a solid opinion, in fact, that they never question it. They don’t wonder if they’re going to take their spouse’s name or not when they get married. They already know their correct answer. They don’t wonder if they’re going to lose their spouse’s name or not if it comes to divorce. They already know their correct answer. Yet, even those who have never questioned what the “right” thing to do with their “married name” in the…

I am sitting in my room, eyes puffy and red from trying to fight back my tears. The Hundred Greek Names Project is due tomorrow. Although the name makes it sound like there are only 100 essays to write, there are actually one-hundred eight, and I am on number eighty-five. Not only that but the rain outside is not helping.
