What’s in a name (2 Stars)?
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
My first name is Ronald, and I absolutely hate it. I’m the third, and my parents chose it because they couldn’t agree to anything else. Which I’m also thankful for, because my mother had some pretty shit ideas. They expected that the whole “Ronald McDonald” thing would be over, but that was not entirely correct. That’s pretty much why I’ve just gone by RJ my entire life, and I’ve actually considered changing my name to just RJ, because I’m tired of being referred to as Ronald. The first day of class always sucks because during attendance when they call “Ronald”, ...
The Power of Prophecy

Most names have some kind of meaning. For example, Robert means bright fame. It makes you wonder if Bob Ross’s parents were somehow aware of his future when looking at his name’s meaning. Because this one name out of millions foretold this man’s future, I have decided all names have prophetic powers. Since I have no idea what my own future holds I shall now look up the meaning of my first and middle names and see what awaits me. The First Name My first name is Zoe. It is from a Greek word meaning life. So, I guess that’s ...

I chose the assignment “What’s In A Name?” https://assignments.ds106.us/?s=what%27s+in+a+name&post_type=stufftodo&assignmenttypes=writingAssignments to explain early in the life of this website why the title, “D’Juneau?” It happens to be a play on the name of my home of origin, Juneau, Alaska. I left when I was only 4 but was imprinted on the magnificence of the mountains, waters and wild of the land. I was transplanted to the small town of Waukon in the middle of dairy farming in the Driftless Area of Northeast Iowa.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driftless_Area Juneau Alaska, taken from Douglas Island Waukon. Driftless. What’s in a name?? Makes you wonder. I always felt ...
What’s In A Name?

I’m sure at this point you all know my name is Lauren and if you don’t it’s pretty self-explanatory from my blog name. I have a few different nicknames from the people closest to me, my family calls me “Lee,” but don’t ask me where that came from because I have no idea. Some of my friends call me “Lo” and “Laur” but those are a little more obvious nicknames for Lauren. I’ve been told from time to time that I don’t look like a “Lauren,” which is odd cause… that’s my name. I mean really, what does a “Lauren” look ...

COULD I HAVE BEEN ANYONE OTHER THAN ME

For this assignment, I decided to ask myself the timeless Shakespearean question, What’s In A Name? (And the not-so timeless Dave Matthews-ian question, Could I Have Been Anyone Other Than Me?) For this assignment, I had to, “Write a blog in which you tell us something, anything, about either your given names or your blog name(s).” Well, why not both? What’s In A Name: Blog Name Why Melody? Why unbeheldmelody? This is a pretty short story: I actually chose the name some years ago when I started posting artwork online. The name comes from the song, ‘Lucia’s Theme,’ from the ...
What’s In A Name?

As you all know, my name is Morgan. Growing up, I never really had a nickname that stuck; it was always just “Morgan.” Today, a majority of people I know call me Morgan, but now I can say I have a nickname. My closest friends call me Medio, and yes, it is the Spanish for medium. I have a little bit of Puerto Rican in me, but I speak very little Spanish. My nickname comes from my freshman year of college at a different university. I was relativity quiet and didn’t talk to people who lived on the same floor ...
Things are shaping up to be pretty odd

My first name is sooooo frustrating. It was a hugely popular baby name when I was born. I was never the only Jessica in class at school. I think my mom sort of regrets that. My middle name is Carrie, and I would bet money that it comes from the Stephen King book. He is my mom’s favorite author, and she’s always been evasive about why she chose it. I think she’s embarrassed, but she shouldn’t be. But doing something so incredibly geeky wasn’t really a thing back then. These days, I know several people who have named kids after ...
My name Caritat

Marie Jean Antoine Nicolas de Caritat, marquis de Condorcet 17 September 1743 – 28 March 1794), known as Nicolas de Condorcet, was a French philosopher, mathematician, and early political scientist. Condorcet descended from the ancient family of Caritat. My mother always told me we had a famous French name, but when I grew older my elder brother told me another story. My mother was a foundling and nobody knew her name. She was taken care of by an elderly lady who named her Caritat because of she being given to her. It is a Latin word meaning giving. My mother ...
What’s in a name? Especially my name?

I decided to complete this writing assignment because I never really thought about what my name means to me or why my parents decided to name me what they did. So, I decided to take this assignment in several directions. This assignment has definitely provided me a different perspective on how I view my name and how important names can be and meanings behind them. First, I asked my parents why they named me Natalie. They said they named me Natalie after Natalie Cole. Natalie Cole was the daughter of the signer Nat King Cole. She followed in her father’s ...
