Firstly, I never wanted to be called by my surname. That would be too formal.
A lot have already asked me this one question which I didn’t pay much attention and effort to answer.
Not until now. . .
They’ve been asking me :
” DO YOU ALWAYS LIKE YOUR NAME? “
Well, nope.
There are unavoidable times when I really curse my name.
It seemed too ordinary and there’s nothing unique about it.
There are even a lot of situations when I hear my name being called, but then, just when I attempt to answer, it’s not me being called after all !
In short, I usually get a false alarm .
I am called ANNA at home. Still common.
They just extracted it from my birth given name JO-ANNA and banished the first two letters — J and O –.
That’s how I got the nickname ANNA at home.
Well, I like it when I’m in school. They call me differently.
Some classmates call me DIMPLES because of my cheek-dimples.
But I like it more when they call me SUEYEE.
I love the sound of it. It’s so new, so unique, and so cute ! weee
Wondering where the heck I got that “SUEYEE” nickname??
Mmm… During the get-to-know-me period of my freshmen year in college, I really had a strong urge to make a change.
And so I wore this name tag with the letters S-U-E-Y-E-E printed clearly in capitals.
They keep on seeing me wear it, so, not long, they got used calling me “SUE YEE “.
BUt all that doesn’t mean I totally hate my name.
At church, I am called JOANNA (or JOAN)…
And they do it in a manner that makes me wanna listen to it.
I don’t know why though.
And what more> my crush calls me by my name JOANNA too !!
I then suddenly had a change of heart towards my birth-given name.
” J O A N N A “ Ü
Anyway, all those things that i mentioned are not what’s important about my name.
What matters most is the deeper meaning, the beautiful memories, that it holds for me. . . ayeee !
