...My Name…

...My Name…

Names can represent different people, and they all signify something very special. I have heard of many international names that are very rare and unique. Sometimes people make fun of someone, just because there name sounds weird. However, those who tease others are very selfish and cruel. If you do not know the meaning of one’s name, why waste your time teasing them? Teasing is a very ghastly thing, and it can really hurt.

What my name means...

My name is Dikshya Dhungana. Yes, you might say “what a bizarre and %*&@ name!” but before you say anything, hold your mouth. Dikshya is a one in a million name that no one knows about. The name Dikshya (pronounced dik-shā) means “knowledge, or concentration.” This name comes from the Nepalese. (Nepal is located in Asia, in between China and Tibet). Anyway, my parents choose this name because my generations of ancestors were from Nepal. Most of my friends, or the people who know me, say that since I am from New Zealand, my name should be New Zealandish - I disagree. Your name does not have to connect with where you are from, or your personality or anything like that. Any name expresses one’s personal, cultural identity.

The spitefulness of one’s name...

Now that you know what my name means, you will now step into my shoes. Imagine going to a middle school and every single day, in every class, people make fun of your name. They say “Hey %*&@!, nice name!” When really they do not mean it. On the other hand, sometimes people cut off part of your name to make it sound “wrong” and try to humiliate you. Those people who do that do not know how others suffer. Every now and then, I really hope that the name-calling people will get in loads of trouble, and that they would regret what they had said.

THE END
