What's in a name?

D is for Dutiful, never abandoning responsibilities
U is for Unflappable, nothing keeps me down
L is for Light-hearted, free from worries
Y is for Youth, eternally young at heart
N is for Nutty, full of wackiness
E is for Elegant, an effortless style

    Victory over the people
    Seeing over all the good
    No one
    Dares to remove Nicole

    Greek is ever so devious
    N...I...C…O…L…E
    The people are conquered
    Complimented but never
    Arrogant
    Appreciation is given

    What can you do when a
    Victor comes your way
    Feminine yet masculine
    This name will continue
    As it has for 8000 years
    And so it flows like the
    Wind to the ocean

  3. Destiny
    Most classical name in the book
    The definition means one thing
    But I think I give it another look
    Do I think my name fits me honestly, NO
    I find it quite annoying
    I wish it would just go
    My name means future, fate
    To predetermine what your life will be
    That doesn’t describe me
    Not even a little bit, not even a lot, not even at all
    I am carefree
    I just go with the flow
    Why try to determine your life
    When you never know where your life will go?
    People love my name
    You can find it everywhere
    So why do I despise it so much,
    To be honest sometimes I don’t even care
    What makes me unique
    If the person next to me has my name too
    Changing the spelling of the word
    Doesn’t reiterate it
    Saying it different doesn’t change it
    And saying that’s me would be too basic.
    I’m more than my name
    To be destined is one
    But I am destiny because I don’t wait for my faith to come
    I chase it
    The way day chases the sun.

    ANNA!!

    ANTIANNA!!!!!!!

    Never heard that name before have you??
    Well yeah . I am the ONE AND ONLY !
    Now my name might be weird but it’s cute

    My name doesn’t have a significant meaning
    But to me it means beautiful, independent , and peacemaker

    Having the name Antianna might not be common
    That’s because I’m not the most common person you would meet
    On a everyday bases

    I love my name because it’s different and outgoing
    My name brings attention and attraction everyday

    Wassup ?! Anti, Wyd Anti??!! . Hi Antianna, WE LOVE You Anti

  5. DOLORES Dolores: Pain, Dolor, Headache, Dolor de cabeza, sorrow, agonia, sad, triste
    Why do I have this name?
    Am I meant to cause pain?
    I didn’t like my name when I was younger
    Sometimes I don’t even like it at all
    I’ve thought of changing it
    But for what
    So many successful people have my first name
    If anything my name is the opposite of who I am
    I am energetic
    I am nice
    I am alert
    I am funny
    I am crazy
    I am caring
    I don’t let my name define me
    My great grandmother wanted my name to be Dolores
    Does my name characterize me?
    No
    I do thank god for my middle name though
    Massiel, it just sounds so nice so appealing
    I don’t use my first name a lot, I think of myself as a Massiel only
    Truth is I’m both
    Dolores isn’t that bad though
    I mean it did come from the Virgen Maria de Dolores
    I am pain, a sky and a saint
    I am Dolores Massiel Santos

  6. Ashley

    My name…
    Ashley is my name
    It means ash tree
    A wood tree with silvery greyish bark
    My name gives life and oxygen

    My nickname is Ash it is the opposite of a tree
    Ash is my nickname little grey specks
    flakes of wood burned by fire
    It is the destroyer of all things
    Ash means the end

    But does it really matter what my name means?
    It doesn’t defy who I am
    It only is a portion of me
    A label given by another
    A label given by my mother

    My name is Ashley
    My nickname is Ash
    But this is unimportant
    There are many people who borrow my name
    miss use it when the ask for me
    want something to be done by me

    My name is unoriginal
    but that doesn’t bother me though
    Because all the other Ashley’s aren’t me
    Even if they tried they couldn’t be

    Ashley is me it means ash tree
    my nickname is Ash it means the end

  7. Who’s Natalia?

    Who decided to name me Natalia?
    I’ll tell you who
    My father.
    Natalia is the name on my birth certificate
    BUT it is not the name I go by every day.
    Everyone calls me Natalie
    See what they did there? Change the last “a” to an “e”.
    Now, I’m not really sure when this started but
    All I remember is one time in 2nd grade my teacher
    Wrote on my paper:
    LEARN HOW TO SPELL YOUR NAME!
    I did know how to spell my name
    I just chose to CHANGE my name
    You see, I didn’t like my name….
    For starters :
    My name means “Born at Christmas”
    You know like Christ?
    Yeah except for the fact that I was born in JUNE!
    Oh also, did I mention my name is Russian?
    At least that’s what I got from Google.
    I, myself, am not Russian.
    Although sometimes I do like to speak in a Russian accent
    I don’t think that the meaning of my name DEFINES me at all.
    I am not a Christmas child and I am not Russian
    I am me.
    Just me.
    You know I wish my name meant something like
    Warrior or
    Goddess or
    Mysterious or
    Unique
    I don’t know.
    Just something MORE
    More than “Christmas child”
    So here we are again, Natalia Natalie Nat NatNat whatever etc.
    Nothing unique.. pretty common actually…
    BUT Even though my name is common… I am not.
    Thank you.

  9. Ilunga Kadisha
    My name is Ilunga
    I was named after my father
    The meaning of my name is
    A person who is ready to
    Forgive any abuse for the
    First time, to tolerate it a
    Second time, but never a
    Third time.
    There is more than one
    Definition to my name
    It also means that I am
    A diligent and a persevering worker
    That enjoys a routine
    Occupation where I Can do a job well
    And finish what
    I started.
    Another meaning to
    My name also means
    I like to work at my own
    Speed, without pressure,
    As I prefer to take my time
    To work step by step
    In my own way

  10. Geronimo
    Four syllables Ge-ro-ni-mo. I didn’t like it
    My parents did, my aunt and uncle did, but I didn’t.
    Many will say “hey its unique”
    Others will simply scream it as they plunge out of a plain.
    I am not Native American, but I have had long hair forever
    Thanks for asking
    It did come with issues
    5th grade, Mrs.Dunns class
    She wrote it with a J
    She spelled it like this
    JERANIMO
    It’s
    GERONIMO
    And she also quietly asked me if I was a girl, in the middle of introducing me
    My name means “Sacred name” it’s of Greek origin.
    Sacred name, pfft if only.
    But I’ve grown up
    I like it now and I wouldn’t change it for something plain
    Luis, Thomas, Jake, Jacob, Matthew, Michael, Anthony
    Eww, so common.
    It calls out to me on Attendance sheets
    And starts a conversation with new people I meet
    “Is that your name?”

  11. Sabrina Garcia

    My name is Sabrina not “Sabrina the teenage witch”
    I’m not a witch just a girl I wish I was so I can stop the teasing
    But it’s my name and I love it because my name explains me,
    The English the meaning of the name Sabrina is legendary princess.
    The Italian the meaning of the name Sabrina is from the border.
    And yet I’m neither from the border or a legendary princess but a normal person,
    In British legend Sabrina was the illegitimate daughter of the King of Britain
    She was drowned in the river by her father's ex-wife.
    I’m not an illegitimate child from a king
    I’m a kid from NYC
    I never downed because I am alive and I know how to swim
    People with my name claim to have a deep inner desire to inspire others in a higher cause,
    People with this name tend to initiate events,
    To be leaders rather than followers, with powerful personalities
    They tend to be focused on specific goals,
    Experience a wealth of creative new ideas,
    They have the ability to implement these ideas with efficiency and determination
    They tend to be courageous and sometimes aggressive
    As unique, creative individuals,
    They tend to resent authority,
    And are sometimes stubborn, proud, and impatient
    That is pretty much my entire personality and how I am.

  12. Esperanza
    Acudimos a ti
    como ultima Esperanza
    Idle by the windowsill
    Tormented by aspirations
    Ostracized by past limitations

    Chained under juniors
    Forbidden to inferiority
    Where the wild things are
    Murdered by austerity

    Embraced with
    sequence
    Order
    Disposition
    Succession
    Arrangement
    irregular systems of pre-existing intuitions

    Identity
    Self identification
    Be who you are
    In a world of stereotypical connotations

    Ostracized by past limitations
    Tormented by aspirations
    Idle by the windowsill
    Acudimos a ti como ultima Esperanza

  13. Kyra Nix
    Period 6
    5/8/14

    Kyra
    I am the light that the world revolves around
    “Like Ra” I am the sun
    A strong young woman of independence
    I am Kyra.

    Knowledge is my key
    Figuring out life in ways creatively unknown
    I am a woman of excellence and extraordinary abilities
    I am a bright light
    In a dark sea of stupidity
    My brain lighting your imagination
    Brightness with no limits
    I am me.
    I am Kyra.

    Young beauty
    With a figurative mind.
    Like the sun
    Natural but bold.
    Kyra oozes authority and greatness
    Often seen as high standards and born into greatness
    I am Kyra
    My definition came with my name
    My fiery but calm quickness of personality
    My explosive untouchable beauty
    “Like Ra” I Am the sun.

    Rhythms and words lyrically move through my veins
    I am the light destined for fame
    Center of attention… you’re revolving around me
    Intimidated you try and look between my lines
    My hardcore silver lining
    My unbreakable structure my straightforward mind
    I am a leader and I Am one of a kind.

    Attention isn’t my prize
    I wish for bigger and better things
    Like my name I Am the sun
    Powerful source of energy
    Fatal but lovely
    An unexplainable beauty, a miracle to the unknown and to man
    Unlike my great origin
    Attention is not my muse.
    Kyra is my being and it is what makes me, me
    Kyra is a force that can’t be dealt with
    An aura of confidence
    People love to speak it.
    Short and simple…. That’s how I like to keep it.
    I Am Kyra.

  14. Destiny

    The hidden power believed to control what
    Will happen in the future
    In other words
    Fate

    My name was suppose to be Desire
    Strong feeling for wanting something
    Or wishing for something to happen
    Want

    Destiny was a last minute name
    My father picked it
    He said I’m destined to be
    Successful

    I cherish my name
    I feel like I’m destined to make
    A change in People’s lives
    Leaving a positive mark and
    Being the best I can be

  15. Emmanuel

    My name is God with us which is pretty cool
    Emmanuel or just El for short because El means
    “God”
    God like God the provider (El shaddai)
    God the healer (El rapha)
    God most high (El Elyon)
    God whom sees (El Roi)
    God or peace or mercy (El shalolm)
    God of hosts (El Sabaoth)
    Yes all these names you can call me
    Which is pretty cool
    And there’s way more if you include
    Yahweh …. That’s another name for God
    So you can have fun and say
    Yahweh instead of El
    But or coarse I’m not God
    I’m God with us

  16. The “Follower of Christ”
    The “Martyr”
    The unique derivative of “Tatiana”
    Of Russian descendent,
    Who was a dedicated woman to her Christian faith,
    And was taught to live the life of righteousness?
    But was shunned for her opposition to paganism, in a Roman world
    Who was tortured and hurt,
    But did not back down
    Who refused to conform,
    To become something she was not,
    Nor pray to something she did not believe was truth
    Who died from the cruelty,
    That was dished out from the beasts
    But died with her pride intact, and her faith secure
    Tatiana…
    Is not Tianna
    It’s true that I’m a firm believer of the Father and the Son
    I may be righteous, in my own way
    And I may be prideful,
    But my name holds an entirely different meaning
    I am from outrageous mother Theresa,
    And my name is from my beloved grandmother Anna,
    And my stubborn uncle Timothy
    The name is constantly mispronounced,
    And I tend to give up on trying to get the pronunciation THROUGH to people
    But make no mistake,
    I am, and will always be, the artistic, charming, intelligent, semi-lazy teenage girl!

  19. Genesis

    Beginning of life
    That’s what my name means.
    It’s the meaning of Origin
    Creation of the Beginning.
    Genesis
    A name given to me by my Mother
    Because I was her 1st Beginning
    The beginning of Motherhood
    The beginning of a new path.
    Genesis.
    Genesis, the name that represents my personality
    Since, I’m creative, can be a handful and am full of life.
    Usually my name is used on both genders
    And I’m usually called Jenny, Jenny Penny, GenGen, by my Friends
    MooMoo, By my Aunt and Sueellen by my Mother.
    Although, my name came from the Bible.
    It’s a myth of both Judaism and Christianity,
    And it’s a name that has a truthful meaning,
    And, a name that I’m proud to have been born with.

  20. Teneil

    Teneil, a name of a champion
    a name of a lover
    a name so short but yet so meaningful
    It could maybe be a boy
    But mostly a girl
    She longs to see her place in the world

    She falls but she is never broken
    She flies, but her wings are never crippled
    She cry’s, but does not fear her tears
    Because they have helped her over the years

    Teneil isn’t afraid to sometimes
    Fail, but is careful not to repeat her mistakes
    She is a thoughtful and be a fanatic listener
    She is Generous but Hates to be pushed to far
    Her limit is of great distance but she run there is not far.

  21. Alana
    Alana, Alaina, Elaina
    No matter how much I correct people,
    My name is always converted like currency in a new country,
    Changed like a gullible girl in high school,
    Disrespected like a lady of the night.

    MY NAME IS ALANA

    I am more than just a Wikipedia search telling me I’m “precious”.
    I am a young woman, not crippled by society’s expectations
    but a young woman that sees’s a dream
    I am humble enough to know I am not better than anyone
    but I’m different from the rest,

    MY NAME IS ALANA

    When people hear my name they think of a dainty powerless girl,
    But I am more, I am a phenomenal girl
    I am a worker, a leader, a believer
    I am Victorious

    MY NAME IS ALANA

    Growing up with pain, misery, and loneliness
    It is only an act of fate that I made it
    This far…

    AND BECAUSE I AM ALANA, who my mother made me.

  22. Albert- Sexy beast

    The name Albert is short for Adalbert,
    originally Adalberaht,
    Adalberaht = German name,
    Adal = noble, Beraht = bright,
    Common name for medieval German royalty,
    Dead by the 17th century,
    Revived in the 19th century ‘cause of
    Prince Albert, thanks Prince Albert,
    I like my middle name better, Brian,
    When I was little I used to think Brian meant
    Butter because I liked the way butter looked,
    Some people call me Alberto but that’s not my name,
    Neither is Gilbert or Alberatto,
    I was named after my grandfather,
    They called him Leon too which is Spanish for Lion,
    My Zodiac sign is a Leo, bye.

  23. NICOLE EBONY WEBSTER
    Nicole. It’s me.
    Some people spell it with an H
    I don’t but some do and that’s something I really hate
    People use to tease and say my name wasn't unique
    But the uniqueness isn't in my name, the uniqueness is in me

    I don’t really care how people feel about my name
    It’s strange because I use to want to get my name changed
    To something different and “better” that made me feel I was important, should it be shortened? Nah, then should it be long for me?

    It was hard to adapt because I felt it didn't belong to me. What’s wrong with me?
    My name means Victory! I’m starting to feel good but I don’t know what’s getting into me.
    It’s me! Finally understanding that its mine
    About time! My name means Victory and I’m about to Shine.

  24. A bili light is a phototherapy tool to treat newborn jaundice (hyperbilirubinemia) which in higher levels causes brain damage (kernicterus), leading to cerebral palsy, auditory neuropathy, gaze abnormalities and dental enamel hypoplasia. The therapy uses a blue light (420-470 nm) that converts bilirubin so that it can be excreted in the urine and feces. Soft eye shields are placed on the baby to protect their eyes from damage that may lead to retinopathy due to the bili lights.
    Om’bili –Peace (African dialect )

    Hi my name is B’ili

  26. Anthony Thomas Wilson
    Anthony. Priceless, so why don’t I feel like that?
    Thomas. Twin, but I don’t have one.
    Wilson. Desired, am I really?

    It’s funny how my name doesn't fit me
    But I love it.
    I got my name first from a family man
    He loved us all.
    My middle name. It’s from a man that lost his twin.
    And my last name is just a family name.

    Anthony. Priceless, I've never felt like this.
    Thomas. Twin, I've never wanted one.
    Wilson. Desired, whoever has?

    Ironically I was given a name that means “priceless”
    But I've never felt that way.
    I feel regular, like nothing special.
    I was also given a name that means twin.
    But I've never had nor have I wanted one
    My last name means to be desired.
    again I've never felt like i was... although some might disagree

    May 8, 2014 marks the day were i start to define myself in a different way.

    my name is stolen
    the thief moms
    who love naming their daughters
    Alyssa
    My name has been taken
    been borrowed
    been denied
    wants to be accessed
    my name is the sunrise
    of beauty
    the glisten in a diamond
    the steps in a dancer
    a pianist flow of fingers
    the singers high note
    the impatient esophagus
    of a flute player
