I think names come with a part of power, a given name has the power of love, most of the times, as a parent gives it to their child, and they pick a name they think is beautiful, as well as fit for a boy or a girl, but that wasn’t the case with my name, my parents simply couldn’t find a boy name, if I were to be born a boy.

Your own nicknames give power too, they give you a feeling or a save haven for people who cannot seem to find it in their own life. That’s where my first name comes from. It’s a given from me from what I like most. I used it online for as long as I have been known, carrying it with me through each of my online life, but it also has a history that’s black and dark, as a passing in the last year. That’s also why names are powerful, they carry memories.

Some names carry memories that are rather forgotten, while other carry the memories of someone else, as it’s a name passed through generations. I think those shouldn’t be forgotten either, a family can bring great joy, or destruction to whatever they name you, and if they name you after someone special, or if that name doesn’t mean anything at all. That’s also a reason why we could change a name, as it’s our own identity, so switching names might be even changing them.

The last thing to say is about your identity, a different name with a different idenity, at least that’s what it is for me, something which I won’t ever forget, or something that will always be with me, deep in my heart. Yet again, the memories I make with the different names I carry are the most important ones, and I’ll cherrish them forever.
