I read once about the characteristics that people have with the name Karina. In the article, it talked about how people with the name Karina were passionate, intuitive, and have magnetic personalities. Karinas are broad minded and generous. They tend to follow career paths where they can serve humanity. They are romantic and they easily fall in love, but may be easily hurt and sometimes they are quick-tempered (Karina). I feel that I can relate to what the articles were saying because I want to go into mission work, I am very quick tempered, and I do think that I have a magnetic personality because I tend to make friendships very …show more content…
Either their name was a family name and it was passed down through the generations or their parents picked it out of a baby name book. Or maybe their parents just really liked that name because one of their friends from school had that name. Well my story isn’t like that. Mine is unique, just like my name. When my parents first told me the story behind my name, I thought that my dad was just making it up. I thought “there could be no way that was the story behind my name.” But it was. About four to six months before I was born, my parents were watching a ballroom dancing competition on T.V. There was a dancer with the name Karina who was from Ukraine. My parents really liked that name because it was unique. My parents chose unique names for my sisters and I because they didn’t want another Ashley or McKayla. But at the same time they didn’t want a name that we would get made fun of for having. My older sister’s name is Natasha and my younger sister’s name is Naomi. I feel that the name Natasha is becoming more common because I hear it a lot more. The name Naomi isn’t as common but I have heard it a few

Everybody always has two names: one from their parents and one from their friends. The name that is given by
As a young girl, I was never fond of the name Anna. The name came along with too much baggage.. Unknowingly, people would constantly call me the wrong name, and some people, disregarding my opinion, even created strange nicknames for me. Over the years, I have been called a variety of names including Annie, Ann, Anna, Annabelle, Anne Frank, banana, banana boat, etc. Frankly, there are just too many variations of the name “Anna”. Being an extremely common name, almost everywhere I go, whether it be school or the grocery store, I always seem to find another “Anna”. Although nameberry.com tells me that “Anna” means grace, it actually means unique, intelligent, and affectionate.
One evening Marguerite was asked to serve Mrs. Cullinan and her women friends their drinks on the closed-in porch. When asked her name, Mrs. Cullinan answers for her, “Her name’s Margaret.” A close pronunciation, but incorrect, nevertheless. Americans are particularly inept, I think, at pronouncing anything that has a foreign flair to it, or a foreign sound to it, and it's much easier for people to say “Margaret”, than “Marguerite”, or “Andrea” instead of “Andréica.” It is well known that the sweetest sound in any language is the sound of one's own name, so we don't take it mildly if somebody makes fun of our names or belittles us because of our name, or mispronounces our name. We proclaim ourselves with a name and we're very defensive about them, it is a major part of our identity.
Frank Sinatra was a hero to all of the Americans and his name will never die in the states

“Can you imagine what a mess a world would be without names? (website)Names are very important to a person and their individuality. Ayn Rand’s novel “Anthem” is a book in which the people written about do not have names. The importance of having your own individual names is huge. A name can have meaning given to it, like how the name Sue means lily. Most parents when giving you your name have a meaning behind it and put much thought into what their future child should be named. Names can give you a part of your identity.
In older generations, prior to black power movements, this “refined” culture to copy was that of the upper-class white American. This resulted in many modified “white” names being used by black individuals initially (Waugaman). However, with the increasing cultural pride felt by black Americans, there is an active move away from the educated, white part of America. In addition, due to the historical subjugation of African-Americans, there is not a strong, upper-class, distinctive black culture in place that would serve as a source of “high” names. This means that there is a drive to avoid most existing popular names and to create new ones. As a result, the entirety of the creative energy of a black name-giver is directed towards creating completely unique names. By assigning these names to their children, name-givers are able to exercise their creativity while giving their child a name that both separates them from white culture and is aesthetically
My eyes were tearing up even before started. I knew from my past that it will hurt, and I know how much. They then started.
Imagining if I transformed into the opposite sex for a week, my experiences of truth and reality would be quite different, yet strikingly similar to my life as a woman. Although my peers would accept me the same and know nothing altered, my mindset would have done a complete 180 degree flip. Although it is the expectation that humans identify with a single gender, multitudes of modern Americans refuse to succumb to this idea and prefer to identify with a sense gender fluidity. “The term "gender identity” . . . refers to a person's innate, deeply felt psychological identification as a man, woman or some other gender, which may or may not correspond to the sex assigned to them at birth” (par. 2). Some refuse to accept that gender is as one may say black or white, male or female. However, if I transfigured into a man, I would need to adjust my sense of reality in regards to the new expectations that come with the given gender.
I am an intuitive-feeling personality. I am charismatic, participative and very people oriented. I tend to focus on the big picture and not the small specifics. I am not power hungry and try to be helpful and giving to those around me.
Another fact is that personality can be described just by the name. An example, on my research I found web sites with my name wich described my personality. Kabalarians.com/male/judith.htm., "Judith is happiest when associating with singing, dancing, and having a good time." Accordingly, all this quote describes me perfectly because I always like to be happy and having a good time with my friends. For example, If I am spending time with my friends, I like to be thinking positive and enjoying it as much as I can. I have never liked to see any of my friends sad or with problems, if that is the case I try to cheer them up. I also found some weaknesses, kabalarians.htm., "Over indulgence in food or emotional desires could cause you to have problems in your nervous system." Without a doubt this totally describes me. There is times when emotional desires get to me and take time to get them out of my activities.
As a young child in elementary school, I struggled in the regular classes of language arts and math, and this caused my teachers to put me into Special Education. I recall hearing the regular students call me “stupid” all the time behind my back. When I had my regular classes in Social Studies or Science none of the other students wanted to be my partner in the group projects. I felt like an outcast, and my self-confidence was exceedingly low. However, I knew that I was not the smartest kid, but I was a hard worker. I begged my mom to help me convince the teachers to allow me to to join the regular classes in the 5th grade. Fortunately, my teachers agreed, and in my regular language arts class I was motivated to prove to my teachers, my classmates,
Everybody starts off with a story and it could be good or bad. Depeneding on who you are people will remember the good and the bad of you.

I don’t know where to start in my quest for being remembered. Everyday I wake up, take a shower, get dressed, brush my teeth, and do whatever I have planned for the day. That’s certainly nothing to be remembered for, but it is only how I begin my day.
