Haleakala Narrative

I would like to be called Isaac because it means “he laughs” and I like to laugh a lot.

I like my name, but if my name was color, the color would it be is blue, because is the color of trust and peace. It can suggest loyalty and integrity as well as conservatism and frigidity. If my name was a song, the song would it be is “Me enamoras” from “Luis Coronel, because is my favorite song I love this song because I remember so much memories. Let me explain If my name was made of something, would it be made out of metal because is very strong and all my family said that all family are very strong. Now that if my name was could speak, would it say is “wherever ” , because all the time I said this phrases and all my friends tell me that when somebody said this phrases remember to me.

would associate my name with something they loved or even remembered fondly. My first name

I’m not completely sure on how I feel about nicknames; not the entire concept of nicknames, only when others try to create ones other than the widely accepted, Sam. The long list of failed attempts to shorten my name include: SJ, JJ, Sami, and the worst of them all, Sammy. (Bestnicknametees.com) All of which I reject mainly because I just did not grow up with them. Therefore, the only nickname that fits me is the one I know and identify with, Sam. As a child I was presented with the nickname “Sammy” by my sister, 13 years in an age difference and they usually hold much power over me so I wouldn't necessarily ask her to stop, and find her actually doing so. Until this day she calls me “Sammy,” and until this day, I hate the name,

To produce this book, I asked not “What you are going to name your baby?”, but rather “What is your name? How does it make you feel? Who named you? Why did they choose that name? Would you change

I don’t mind being called any name, except Natalia. There used to be someone I knew and strongly disliked named Natalia. I won’t go into much details, but she wasn’t the nicest person to anyone. Then after I didn’t talk about her in years, people would “accidentally” call me Natalia here and there. At first I would tell them that I don’t like that name, but could easily be angered if they were to continue to use it. So just a tip, don’t call me

Luke, I never really knew what to think of my name it was just there my Whole life, although behind the name there was another world that I never knew about. “Light Given” that is what my name means in greek. I get related to the movie “Star Wars” as Luke Skywalker all the time, almost every day I get called “Skywalker” or someone always says “LUKE, I am your father…” Something I will never be able to escape, although now it is apart of me. Every time someone calls me skywalker I play along because really they are just complimenting my name. The name Luke, from Star Wars was give to him by the creator of the character, George Lucas. If you think about it it fits the movie so well and it was well chosen. Although that was not my case, my name was chosen because my parents thought it fit me well. They refused to name be befor I was born just so my name would fit me. Otherwize I would have been named Samuel. Everyone that knew me said it would be weird calling me Samuel, and I would have to agree with them.

I have a full Japanese first name, and I go by a shortened, Americanized version. My first name means nothing in Japanese, and it’s old fashioned, like Barbara or Margaret or Greta. Fashionable for a decade or so, and now painfully outdated. My middle name is Hawai’ian and is a suffix attached to the names of female royalty, and it means “heaven” or “sky.”

As we grow up we receive three names in our lives; the ones we receive from our parents, the names our friends call us, and the ones we must make for ourselves. People take names as a serious matter because they tend to judge someone by their names before even getting to know them. The majority of individuals I know either truly accepts their names in its entirety or is completely unpleased with it. For me, I am someone who seems to be just right in the middle of them both.

I honestly do not know why, but I love the name Gianna! It is just a really majestic name to me! Gee-on-uhh! I LOVE IT! If I have a child someday, (and if it’s a girl) I wanna name her Gianna! Or maybe even Katana! :O I LOVE THAT TOO! <3 I don’t know why but I love those names. Maybe it’s just a faze… OOOH! I just thought of another name I like! Mable… maybe. Yeah, I think I’m going through a faze, because I used to love the names Payton and Riley, but I suggested the name Payton to my aunt and uncle, because they were having their second baby. And when they took the name Payton, I didn’t wanna name my kid that when I’m older, because I thought i’d be awkward. So now I like the names Katana and Gianna! I don’t know why I don’t like the name

If I had to rename myself I would be Rose because one, I have loved that name for years. Two, since I had 2 dolls and 1 stuffed animal all named Rose. Finally, is that I do not like there being two Madisons in the family. I want to have a name that no one else has. Rose Mae Fox is what I would choose.

I have two girl names that are the absolute cutest, I don't know how someone could hate them. The first one is Lyla Rose. Lyla is from the television show Friday Night Lights and as soon as I heard it, I fell in love. Rose is my name from when I got confirmed at the church. I thought it sounded good with Lyla, so that's how I got her name. My other name is a name I have never heard of before

Meadow Snow; one of the worst names some-pony's parents could give you. Why not Frost Fire or Whirl Wind or for Celestia's sake even Daisy for crying out loud! But no, I got stuck with frigging Meadow Snow. The name that every pony can come up with some stupid and horrible sex joke. When I say horrible I mean just HORRIBLE jokes like "Let me Snow on your Meadow" or "You should let us graze on your Meadow". Seriously though, if they at least made sense I'd be able to live with it, like sheeesh.

I was given the birth-name of Selene Celeste Fonix. I've gotten a lot of nicknames throughout my life, and from many different people; Se-se, Lena,Lune, Luna, Ce-ce, Ce-le, Lest, Lesty—and those are just the ones derived from my name. I've had people call me by my full name (Eve-ry. Sin-gle. Frea-kin'. Time.), one of my names, my last name, a brother who refers to me as Ms. Q and A, and there's one person who calls me 'Little Vixen' (as in spirited and quarrelsome, not as in a female fox).

Hazel Jones. That 's my name. I wonder about my name, as my friends, Grace Marie Schmidt and Shelby Lynn Binggeli, walk with me down to our treehouse that we built as little kids. I am just Hazel Jones. Just plain old Hazel Jones. I don 't think I was important enough for a middle name. Our treehouse is a place so we can have time for just us. The trio.
