My Favorite Name Essay

Decent Essays

Everyone has a story. Some people can tell their lives, and it sounds like an adventurous packed children's book. Others can tell their story and make it sound like an academy award winning romance movie. Every story is Unique and special. My story, I would say, is a tale of hard work, ambition, and love. When I pass, I will still have a story, a legacy in my name to live on. My full name is Haley Anika Brazel. Every Single unique name in the word has a different meaning. Together my name means a graceful and strifeful meadow of hay. My first name, Haley, comes from odd english and means meadow of hay. My middle name, which is by far my favorite name is, Anika. Anika, comes from latin origins and means graceful. My last name, comes from Irish origins, and means strife. Anyone who knows me, will know, I am not very graceful and I am usually not strifeful. I am not usually caught dancing or strolling through meadows of hay, so I would say my name strays from my personality. By far, my favorite name is Anika. When I was a baby my mother asked my sister what I should be named. My sister was only five at the time, so she picked a barbie princess she loved. My mom liked the name so she named me Haley and made my middle name Anika. Since my sister has passed, I take comfort in the fact, my middle name was given to me by her. If I would have been born as a boy, my parents would have named me Conner. Conner is my little brothers name, so they did get to use it eventually.
