What is in a name?

Your name is the definition of YOU.  Yes, YOU.  YOU are  your name.  Your parents thought long and hard to find the right name for you because you are special, you are you.

But what does your name mean?  Do you know?

NO?!?!

What do you mean NO?

It’s you – you should know.

Then ASK. Ask your parents what your name means. And if they don’t know, find out.  Grab a name dictionary, google it, or ask Siri.

Then ask your parents WHY they named you that particular, beautiful name. I’m sure they have an answer.

Then DRAW it. Yup, draw, not write it.  It’s special. It’s unique. It deserves special treatment!

Then write the meaning… and why your were named that name.
