what is a name??

I want to talk about "what is a name?" I am the type of girl who had my children's names picked out before I started preschool. My friend and I would alway play house and my twins names were Skyler (girl) and Tyler (boy) and their older brothers name was Tommy. It wasn't until high school that I realized that Tyler would always remind me of a boy from my elementary school who bragged because he was a great swimmer and Tommy would always be my first crush of middle school. I never had those feelings toward those names until I met people who gave each name an identity. I feel like your opinion of a name can change depending on how many people you know with that specific name, but after you get to know someone pretty well with a certain name, most people have a different opinion about that specific name.

If you don't like a person with a certain name, chances are you will have ill feelings toward that name. If you date someone, chances are you won't date someone else with that same name because it will bring back thoughts of your ex. I also think that you can personally lose some of the identity you have in your name. Personally, I am now referred to as "HANNAH MONTANA" when I introduce myself for the first time to someone. It doesn't usually matter their age or gender, because when most people think of the name Hannah, Montana just naturally comes next. It has made me really wish she would have stuck with the name Miley! (Or Destiny Hope Cyrus because that is her birth name!)
