My name like myself is short
My name, always spelled wrong...
is a letter short.
My parents call this unique.
I call it broken. I call it a nuisance. But...
I relate to this. To this broken part of my name and myself. I relate to the awkwardness of it.
An attempt by others to make me the unique Ashly in a world full of Ashley's
I used to hate my name
The roughness of it, the way it felt in my mouth and the way it sounded in the mouths of others.
As if you had licked an ashtray
My name means Ash Tree. So, I was Ashly the Ash Tree among my friends...
Sara the Princess
And Sunni the cheerful
My name was originally a mans name.
Someone told me this meant that I could be tough like a man,
kind like a man...
smart like a man...
brave like a man.
BUT I WANTED TO BE
Tough like a woman
kind like a woman
smart like a woman
brave like a woman!
Give me a name like...
ROSIE!
JANE!
MARIE!
AMELIA!
Names that come with meaning!
ROSIE!
JANE!
MARIE!
AMELIA!
Names that come with meaning!
I had to learn to find myself and the meaning within my name
The meaning of my name comes from
the things I do and the people I love
