So in my baby book there is a section that my mom filled out that asks what other names they were considering naming me. I noticed that there was only one name down and it was Erika.
Now I don't have anything against the name Erika, but I just don't think that name suits my personality. I mean it makes you think, you know. Like, if I was named Erika, would I still be the goofy me? I know I wouldn't have the nickname Kat... that would change a lot of my silliness I think. I mean think about it, honestly... if I wasn't named Kat, I wouldn't be able to ACT like a cat and purr in people's ear to make them laugh, or brush up against them like a cat for attention.... I would be pretty boring, in my opinion. I think my friends find me fun because I am who I am and I act how I act... Would I still act like that if I was named Erika?
Maybe I'm looking too far into this, but then another question rises... well if I was going to be named Erika, what would my middle name have been? Because I know my mom wasn't stupid enough to name me Erika Eileen..... I mean, I would have been a completely different person....
How strange is that to think about? What if I was named something like Erika Christine? Would I be some kind of Politician? Or what if it was like Erika Lilian? Would I be a hippie? I mean there are so many different combinations, I don't think I could make them work with the same personality I have now... And if I didn't have the same personality that I have now, would I have the same friends I have now? Would the friends I have had for 12, 13, 14 years have even payed attention to me? Like the twins? I know there are kids our age on the block that I never hung out with. If my name and personality were different, would I be hanging out with those kids unstead of my friends since kindergarten? Would the twins even want to be my friend? I mean they are awesome people who get along with just about everyone, but we still have all the same memories and good times that we have now if I were different. Or would I even like them???? GASP! Like I said, I may be looking too too far into this, but I have thought about it before. Just never really voiced that...
Just some thinking I was doing. And some thinking I don't care to do anymore.

ReplyDeleteWhat's stupid about being named Erika Eileen? That's my name and it's a pretty awesome one actually. Not a feline name, that's forsure.
