What does your name mean to you?


When we are born As children we are given lasting names, And as we learn We strive to prove ourselves by gaining fame. How should a name make one feel? We are all marked By these letters of great meaning and rank, What you should know That there is a great deal your name should make. Where shall you go with your name? The days will pass As we realize our potential in time, To lose our names Would be a big shame as well as a crime. Why should our names define us? To be honest Names are unique no matter how alike, Those who mock them Should probably go off and take a hike. When will names shine like the stars? So if I may ask you a most heartfelt question, What does your name mean to you?

Thanks for the like. I do hate it when people make fun of others just for something that could be unique and different
