What's in a name? A name is something you turn to when you hear it being called from a friend down the hall. A name is one of the first things you receive when you enter the world. Do you like your name? Or would you change it?
             Names mean so many different things and come from so many different places. The name in which I received is Danielle. Danielle is a 2-syllable girls name of Hebrew origin meaning, my judge is the lord. I think my name's meaning is very religious sounding. When I first heard the meaning of my name I was around the age of seven, I always wondered why my parents would have given me such a religious name when we never went to church. I later found out that they weren't looking at meanings at all but named me after some soap opera star. I always tell my parents I think they should have named me McKenzie Nicole, Not for any particular reason just because I think it's a very pretty name. In a way I think Danielle is a name that has grown on me. Now that I'm older a lot of my friends call me Dani, it has a nice little ring to it. When people call me by my nickname it makes me feel like I'm a part of a small group of very close friends.
             As I continue to grow older, I will continue to enjoy my nickname even more, as I think back I will always wonder what it would have been like if my parents would have named me Brittany Lynn so all of our initials would be the same. So do you like your name? Or would you change it?
