Our parents give us our names when we are born. They don't know yet what we will be like, look like, or act like when we are older. But somehow, they always get it right. Our names grow on us as we grow up and start becoming who we are today. We are still growing. We are always growing and expanding our minds to new knowledge everyday. Our names are a part of us and are something that we keep forever. Something that can never part from us.

My name, Sam, most of the time is referred to as a boys name. News flash! It's not. Sam is a name for both girls and boys. But Sam is not really a real name. It is normally short for Samantha or Samuel. But it isn't for me. My full name is Sam. I do not wish it was Samantha because to me, Samantha is a posh name. I am not posh. I know for a fact that I am a loud, bouncy, energetic, and that I'm not the girliest girl. But that doesn't mean I don't like nail polish and doing my hair :)
So to be honest, Sam does count as a real name. There is no reason why it shouldn't. I want to end on the note that we all are our own person, our own name. Even though some people have the same name as you, they are a completely different person.

Hey Sam, I really like the idea of this post and I really enjoyed it. I know what you mean about how names can sometimes be annoying. For me, it's the spelling. Loads of people keep spelling my name like: 'Rebbeca' and it gets really frustrated at times! I also really like the colourful picture. (Did you do it on Wordle?) Great post!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to know that you can relate, and Im sure it is anoying when people spell your name wrong. Yes I did it on wordle :) (i spelt your name right :) )

SAM I TOTALLY AGREE THAT YOU AREN'T POSH BUT THAT'S ONE OF THE GOOD THINGS ABOUT YOU, YOU AREN'T AFRAID TO BE YOURSELF. ANYWAY LOVE THE TOPIC AND LOVE THE IDEA THAT MY NAME IS ONE OF THE SMALLEST (BUT THATS OK).

HAHAH! Thank you Sid :) I appreciate it! (not sarcastic) I always try to be myself, other then when I'm acting on stage as my character, but I will even then always put elements of myself there.

Hey! I really like your post and I also totally agree that our names grow on us. When I first met you I thought your real name was Samantha, but I was wrong. And to tell you the truth I love the name Sam, it somehow fits you perfectly!
