a new name

So over the Christmas holidays my mom revealed something about me to the rest of my family. She told everyone that before I was born, she had thought about naming me....are you ready for this?.........




ZANOBIA



I can't believe it. I could have a whole other personality and life based on that name! However, my mom is a simple woman and chose to name me SUSAN. I love my name. But I just find "Zanobia" very interesting.

Just think about it, what if our parents didn't name us and we got to choose our own name? What would we be calling you?

Well, if I had been born a boy my parents would've named me Jason...not as exotic as Zanobia, but what is?!? I have loved my name my whole life, but I always wanted it to be spelled with a 'K', not a 'C'. So I guess the answer to your question would be 'Kara', not 'Cara'. Oh, and there was that time in 2nd grade when I insisted that my teacher call me Carolyn...

I think you are amazing, Susan Ripley. What a change I have noticed in you lately-- Peace...introspection...beauty. I like what I see.
