What's in a NAME?

As most of my friends know my real name and I often use it in my posts, my name is 'Deepak', which means - a small earthern lamp, which is lit with the help of oil and cotton, when lit it gives light to surrounding areas. I was the first one born, in the next generation to be born in my joint family, so I was given this name by one of the elders in the family, hoping that I will bring light in the life of others and I do the same. I love my name and would not like to change it.

My name is bobby-joe, my mum loved the name because she used to listen to a song called viva bobby joe. She was going to call my older sister this, but says that when she was born, she “didn’t look like a bobby-joe”, so this name was given as apparently, I looked like a bobby-joe lol.

My real name is virginia, my parents named me after West Virginia state in the United States because we have relatives in the U.S my other sister is named Carolina after North Carolina in the U.S sound silly but my parents adored the United States, when I wasn't able to finish nursing, their hopes of sending me to the United States with their relatives ruined, I felt they were quite sad and I feel guilty, my father is now gone. When I got married, I tried naming my children with normal names and not based in some places. I have a neighbor who named all his children to European cities, and I and my sister are named after the US, very funny.hehhehe!
