Your Name Here
Victoria. My name reminds me of some blond, long legged goddess
stretched on a towel, lying on the beach. I suppose I like the beach alright, and
towels are nice, but the rest of it doesn’t really hit the mark. My mom said she
wanted a “good, solid name,” but to me, my name seems like mist- light, airy,
graceful, and fleeting. My friends have replaced Victoria with my last name, H******. It
shuffles, it’s weirder, and it’s thicker on your tongue. More like me.
My middle name, Lythe, is a different story. It makes me think of a leaf in
early spring, when they’re just beginning to grow and are very dark green and still
have a silvery sheen around the edge. My great-grandmother had it, and so did my
mom, and if I have a girl, she’s going to get it, too. It’s like those old, worn things that
have been in your family for ages and you must never, ever lose.
I don’t know that my first or middle name suit me so well, but like my
brother’s old sweaters, I’ve always liked things that don’t fit.

to me, Victoria reminds me of a very pale, slim woman with a long 19th century gown on.
like Queen Victoria.

Your writing skills are amazing...
I hate my name. 'Terra Arden." Itjust doesn't feel right.

Alice reminds me of some sort of princess ._.
But still, I think it suits me 'cause it's just not me at all. I'm rebellious and weird and deep and all that stuff; I'm far from a fairytale princess. It's a contradiction.
I like it somehow, though. Alice is a dramatic name to me. And it's not very common - neither is my personality.
"Alice" is like a parody of me. Irony. But I like it.
My middle name is Ida. I don't like it at all. Mom and dad gave me it because they thought it was nice. I don't think it is.
Second middle name is Carina, mom's name, and that's just sweet. [:

My first name is Sanne.
Idk, when I think about it, I think about some obnoxious girl.
But then again, I think of like a raw, kind of serious and artistic. A bit dark, perhaps.
My middlename is Diget. It means "The dike." Wikipedia describes it:" A dike is an artificial earthen wall, constructed as a defense or as a boundary"
It has a great story, and it started with my great great great grandfather or so, because he was a sailor. And when people talked about him, they would say "Lars. From the dike!" and people would know who he was, so he made it his middlename. It's been in my dad's family for generations and I love the story to it. My three cousins and my sister all have it, and if I have children, I'd like for them to have it, too.
My friends call me Frank, though, as a joke.

I never got a middle name... o_0.
Although my friend didnt like his, so he gave it to me, now i have 'Myles'.
Hmm, if i have a kid, its middle name will be 'Eggplant'. There is just so much love going around with those eggplants.

My name, Gemma, reminds me of thin people, darkish hair, little or no freckles, pouty lips, very down to earth and has alot of male friends.
Sort of reminds me of myself, but whenever someone says it I just get a different mental picture.
Your blogs are really brilliant.

We always have our middle names as the first name of a dead relative- mine is my great Aunt.
BTW, you write really well, it's really smooth and descriptive.

My middle name is Victoria.
XD
And, I know what you mean about family names, for generations and generations, "George" has been the first name of the first born son on my fathers side.
Heh.
