Do you like your name?


It is me when I was my first grade of elementary school.
kinda blur because it's some kind of old photo
Name is such an important element in our live. It is only a small thing, but name shows us our own identity. Imagine, if we have no name, what should we differentiate one and another? How do we call our friends? How do we introduce our self?
But some people are not really proud and not so confident with their own name, even they ever think to change their name. They think their names are so out-of-date, weird, even some are scared that their friends would be mocking on their names. But, there are many people who are proud with their names. They knew that their parents have given them the best names ever. Beside, name is like a prayer, a hope that our parents expected on us.

And for me, I like my name and of course I’m proud with it and I never thought to change my name, ever. Because as I said before, that our parents have given us the best name ever and I knew the story and how hard my family decided to choose it. My name is Fauzia Desi Rachmawati, my friends used to call me Fau, because Fauzia is too long to be a nickname, and Zia is too common. It was taken from my first name, Fauzia. But my family and my old friends are calling me Weni, because my aunty wanted to give me that name. But, my grandma chose Fauzia for my name, that the meaning was Victory. She hoped that I could be a girl who is always happy, wealthy and could make my parent proud. But it’s a little annoy me when people miss-spelled my name, it’s either they add “H” at the end of it or change the “F” to be “P” or change the “Z” to be “J”. As for Desi means that I was born in December. And for Rachmawati, my mother ever told me that my father had finally a good job right when I was born. So that, my parent thought that I was a blessed girl for our family.

What about the names for my kids later?
I'm thinking several names that catch my interest and I think would be good for him/her. Such as, if it's a boy, I would name him "Jaxon Julian Ahmad" the meaning is a boy who is a merciful boy who is born in July (if he'll born in July) and also praiseworthy, it's cool, isn't it? LOL. And if it's a girl, I would name him "Jazmyn Denise Acacia", which means a jasmine that is so feminine but has its thorn to protect herself.

Isn’t it so interesting when we talk about names, especially when we talk about our children’s name later. I don’t know whether will it come to be really my children's name or not, it depends on my future husband…. LOL

Anyway... Thank you for visiting my very first blog ^____^
