Do
people like their first names?
There are almost people
who don’t like it when we call them by their first name. Maybe they don’t like
to be called by their first name for a number of reasons. First, because maybe they don’t like their first name and prefer to
be called by their last name. Second,
maybe their first name is often the subject of ridicule from people so they
don’t want called by their first name. Third,
it could also be because their first name is the same as their friend’s first
name, so instead of being dizzy it is better to be called by their last name so
they don’t get confused when calling out a friend’s name.
Other think that why their
parents named them after that. Actually the name of the parents is the best
name for them. Indeed when we are not adults we often blame others for
something, but when we grow up we will understand why the name is use for our
names.
“A lot of people go
through their teen years where they
don’t like their name as part of their attention to their identity and what
other people think of them” according to Cleveland Kent Evans, an associate
professor of psychology at Bellevue University. “But I think for most people
these feelings subside by the time they are in their 30s”, he said. Evans and
other psychologists say, go through life with a favorable view of their names. (Adapted
from The Columbus Dispatch).
In
essence, each name is prayer, grace, and blessing. Every name must have a
meaning and that meaning must lead to goodness. I myself have a desire, if I
have a daughter 😁 I want to give the name “Sheiva Humaira (father’s last name)”
and with the nickname “Iva” taken from Sheiva and at the last name with the
father’s last name. I want to give the name Sheiva Humaira because actually I
really like the name ‘Humaira’, I don’t know why I really like that name.
Meanwhile,
if I have a son 😀 I want to give the name “Riffat Hanafi (father’s last name)”
with the nickname “Afi” taken from Hanafi and at the last name with the
father’s last name. There is no reason why I want to give that name. Only in my
opinion the name Riffat Hanafi is a name that is rarely used by most people.
Then,
there are my three favorite English names for males is Emil, Kent, and Freddy.
While, three favorite English names for females is Agatha, Haura, and Rhiana.
And
the last, if I can change my name I want 😕…. . Actually, I like my name but I
want to add the letter Z to my name, more precisely “Azzahra” not “Azahra” and
also I want to add one more word at the end of my name, that is by name….
“Nuriska” and if I can change my name. My name become is “Aisyah Azzahra
Nuriska”.
