What’s in a name?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Today I’d like to talk about people’s names.
Take Barack Obama. I wonder if he liked his name when he was a little kid.
Maybe boys don’t get into that sort of thing when they’re little like girls do. When I was a kid I wanted a name like Christina or Laura. I just thought they sounded so pretty and girly.
My name was great fodder for name calling. There was Gabby Abby and Flabby Abby, and a few others I’d rather not mention. So, is it just me or did you want another name when you were little? Do you have a name that people struggle to pronounce or you simply don’t like? “Dear Abby” (the one in Georgia) wants to know.
