Tuesday, November 16th- Name

What is the personal significance of your given name (first, middle and last)? Does your name mean different things to you, your family, and your friends? Do you feel the same way Esperanza feels about her name?

What are your nicknames? What do your nicknames mean to you and those who call you those names? If you could have a nickname, what would it be?

I was named after my father, Michael. So Michael became Michelle. My mom's name is Linda, so my middle is a shortened version, Lynn. Matera is Italian.

Meagan,
My name doesnt mean anything special i was named after my grandmothers middle name Louise. Other than that my mom and Dad just named me Meagan. I don't really have anyhting against my name except for Meagan. A lot of people have that name and I think that Meagan is a kind of boring name.

My nicknames are simple, some people call me liz, or beth . My nicknames don't really have a meaning. If I could choose my nickname I would probably just keep it the same as it is. I like my middle name , I don't have anything to complain about it. I was named after both of My grandma's middle names, Elizabeth Ann

Christian arthur jimenez,

I have nick names like "backup mexican" and "paco" for somreason and i dont know why i have them.

Nikki,
The "significance" of our name is to be identified. Diffrent names mean diffrent things to other people. Some people think one thing about someone when they hear their name, and others may think diffrent. I don't feel the same way that Esperanza feels, because many people call me diffrent things. I have many nicknames.

Bradi, I agree. I want to know the story!

My name means that I'm an awesome guy! Just kidding, I have no idea. My family has called me by my middle name "Walter" and quite frankly I don't care what my name is. Although before my middle name was a secret until Kierstynn Combs started calling me that and now it's basically my new name. I didn't like it that much at first but it kind of sticks to you and you just don't mind it. Soooo yep!

yes my whole name means alot to me and to my family because my first name is American and my middle and last name are Polish the American name came from my moms side of the family and my middle and last name came from my dads side of the family because my dad is Polish and my middle and lats name is the same as his but my first name came from my mom because she is American and I feel a little bit about Esperanza feels about her name but I also feel different about want she feels.
