What's in a name?

Have you ever actually paused to think about your name? I did a couple of weeks ago and it literally scared me. I saw my name on a sign and I just thought about how the letters were just a sound and that that sound is what distinguishes me when people say it. It was just mind blowing. I felt as though my name was this foreign part of my being that doesn't even exist, and should never exist. What is exactly is a Stacey? Just looking at it typed out seems abnormal and clunky, a word that makes no sense in itself.

 

hmmm.. i dont really know what you are trying to say.. but..my name- "nisha" for me.. like.. i dont find it realy suits me. i always find it suits like an indian woman- im just half. i wish my name was more interesting like.. meredith or paisely or.. phaideira or ophelia...... i feel like i sound like some kind of pornstar lol.."this is my friend, 'nisha' " nisha... yuck.

stacey is my aunt's name i pictures stacies to be light haired (haha. dont ask), easy going, funny and.. in good karma..

 

That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

 

it is just a name ...... it does not define you as an individual

 

I feel that way with my middle name being Starr.

Actually that's a pretty close rendition of who I am.

And it's not as though I feel like my name "defines" who I am, I feel as though it just shouldn't be. As though names are meaningless. This is one of those moments where I start to think about something and I think about it too deeply and then it just doesn't make any sense anymore.

 

it happens to us all at one time or another

 

I don't just do it on names, but on every kind of word. I'm thinking about it and i start thinking...«How the FUCK did that word appear??? How stupid it sounds!! loool doesn't even sound portuguease [im portuguease, lol]»
trippy :S
