Who are you when they call your name?
did a post in his own group about this very topic a while back and I thought it would be a neat way to learn more about the individuals in this community :)
Names are often the first thing given to us before we have any say in who we are--they're chosen by family, culture, traditions, hope. Sometimes they carry expectation, history, or a meaning that we later grow into. They can reflect lineage, faith, resilience, or values.They can also hold stories that were never ours to choose.
Then, we live. And the name ends up being a reflection of our own experiences, how we show up in the world..They can hold a power that we don't anticipate.
Some questions:
  1. How did you obtain your name--what's the history behind it?
  2. Does your name mean something?
  3. Do you have a nickname and how did you get it?
  4. What do you want your name to stand for?
Poll:
I was named after someone in my family/someone important to my family
I was named based on cultural/faith traditions
I was named based on what the name means (some virtue, profession, etc)
