Your Name,,

i choose this topic, becuase i think there is alots of stories behind our names,,

such as, meanings, who gave us the name " Twisted Evil Razz "

or after whom they named us ,

becuase we were babies, we couldnt choose what our name will be.

where, we all are stuck with the name for the rest of our lives.

Here, is your chance to express your feelings, about your name.
the Story behind it,
or the one who gave it to you.

cant wait to hear your stories.

my name is Zaid #2 (permalink) Sat Jan 03, 2009 18:43 pm   my name is Zaid
 

Hello everyone,

my name is zaid,

the story behind my name, "i'm not sure about" since i cant recall much,

but i think my grandfather, chooses this name for me.

he was entering the house, and while he was walking toward where i was.

he thought about this name "in a second", with no apparent reason.

my name, means in english "Growth & More" i guess.
its an arabic name.
and i like it,,,

people call me Zaza, Zaidon, Abu Al.zeez, Abu Al.zooz. etc...

that was my story...

and thats how i became Zaid.

My first name is Thomas (Tom), which is Aramaic. It's fairly common in the English-speaking Western world.

My middle name is Paul, in honor of my maternal grandfather, who is still kicking at the ripe old age of 92.

In honor of Johnny Cash I may name my first child Sue, whether it be a boy or a girl.

Or maybe I'll name the poor thing after a common ingredient on nearly every shampoo bottle I've ever seen:

Methylchloroisothiazolinone

The poor child's nickname would naturally be "Meth"... really, that would be mean.

"Yo, I heard that Tony's mom frequently does meth."
"Poor Meth. Hahahahaha..."

But when you consider some of the ridiculous names some Americans saddle their babies with -- Chandelariqua, Moniqua, Lacretia, etc. -- naming a child Sue or Methylchloroisothiazolinone doesn't seem so bad.

Then there's the troublesome practice of misspelling established names:

Angella
Micheal
Dyrriyck (...and the obsession with Y when it messes up what should be easy names to spell)... sofa king we Todd it)

etc.

What's wrong with Tom, James, John, Sarah, Mary, etc.?
I know some parents want to seem creative and (hence) name their kids "Shawnequa" or "Klowertingela"... but they ought to think about the child: will my kid be ripped on and/or beat up because of the name I give him or her?

of course you can call me Nono

honestly I didn't ask my parent about the story behind my name but what I know that my father gave it to me, maybe it just came to his mind without thinking..
