What’s In A Name?
My name is Mark and my best friends are Debbie, Andy, Kevin, Mike, and Kim; fairly common names. Throw in Eugenia, Clayton and Skippy and that’s as exotic as the list is.
I was last-minute Christmas shopping and saw personalized ornaments, coffee-mugs, sweatshirts, key-chains, license-plates and everything else with a name on it under the sun. There was no “Cyndy” or “Becki” or “LaQuesha” or “Jaymes.” I thought – “what were parents thinking when they gave their children unique/trendy names that sounded so good at the time?”
My children have names from Irish mythology and Sioux legacy. What was I thinking?
MARK! Hello Mark! Mystery solved. Great to meet you, Mark! (Rhymes w/Shark!)
