Personal Narrative: My Name

My identity can be defined by moments in my life. Moving to Canada, learning English and going to high school are three major moments in my life. Going through these experiences have changed the person in me and made me more confident, stronger, better in everything.

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

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

Language is the means we use to express ourselves, and in language, we use certain words to stand out from one another, our names. Names are what we use to distinguish ourselves from others in a group and they can hold special meaning. Changing from one name to another can have an impact on how one is viewed and how ones view themselves.

My name is Jonathan Garcia. If Jonathan was a color, it would be blue it describes its cool just like Jonathan. My mom called me Jonathan because she really liked the name. I wasn't name after anyone but I have my dad's last name. My nickname is jo or Jon and my family calls me that because it's short name for Jonathan. If Jonathan was a animal he would be lion because lions are strong just like a Jonathan. My parents wanted my last name to be Garcia and my brother last name to be Sanchez.

A name is one of the first things we are defined with; it's a simple combination of words that becomes associated with our being. In Children of Monsters, Jay Nordlinger questions how much significance a name really holds.

My name makes noise. It can even have a certain music, depending on my mood” (Schey). To this writer, his name means an incredible amount of things, even if those things don’t have a good meaning. He doesn’t wish for another name, but he wants people to understand what his name means to him so the name can feel real, and he can live out his name. “I don’t wish for another name, because this one is me.

It was an ordinary Friday afternoon, I was playing outside with Peyton Becker when a bright orange chichiwawa walked up the driveway. He cautiously came toward us and stopped. We tried to pet him, but he was too frightened, I knew because he had tucked his tail between his legs. Next we tried treats but I guess he had a treatphobia or something cause he still wouldn't budge to let us pet him. By then we gave up and Peyton went home. The next day Lauren and I sprung out of bed to see if he was still there. Once we made it to the back door he was still there infact right at the back door begging with his big brown eyes to come in. We needed a plan to keep him. We begged all afternoon, until we’d forgotten about him being outside, we rushed out the back door to find him laying in the grass, we sat down next to him and pet him until we realized we were petting him!

One of the perks of creating fantasy stories -- whether by writing a story or game or by role-playing -- is you get to make up the names. Some people relish the task while others are frustrated by it. Some like it but can't seem to create names that are diverse enough. Fantasy Name Generator is a tool that can help you. It can generate an endless number of random names (of people, places, or anything) that would be suitable for use in a fantasy setting. It can generate names on its own, or you can tell it what kind of name you're looking for. Feel free to use this tool and any name that comes out of it (assuming it doesn't accidentally generate a legally protected trademark or something).

We have been given a name since we were born whether we like it or not. Regardless our name has power. It can define who we are or it can simply be something we go by. Our names are a constant recurrence in our daily lives. It is something given to us and holds a strong sentimental value.

I can barely describe the things that I'm experiencing right now. It's all too complicated and I feel as though I don't have enough words to describe what's happening right now but there seems to be something inside of me that's telling me that I should write every single sentence that's running throughout my head, intuition is what's called, I think? Unfortunately this is extremely hard for me to do because I'm becoming very distracted at this second. I can hear a very loud voice calling my name, Octavia. God, I hate my name. I wish she addressed me as Ava which is my preferred, shortened version of my name because people find my name to be the strangest name they've heard and have difficulties pronouncing it. I dread meeting new people, especially

I define my name, my name does not define me. It does not tell you where I have been, or where I am going. My name does not tell you my story, my life. My name does not tell you who I am.

When Natasha stormed from my house earlier today, I never thought that it would be the last moment I ever see her alive. Now, as I wait outside the ER with her parents in the seats next to mine, I can’t help but wonder how it would’ve turned out if I had just apologized and admitted to the false accusations. I can remember the fight so clearly as well, and what a stupid thing we were arguing over.

Names can be descriptive, inspirational, emotive or abstract. A descriptive name does exactly what it says; give a description of the
