Samantha
My name is Samantha Nicole Sarvas. It means listener. I am surprised it doesn't mean rambunctious because I am very rambunctious. I feel like I live up to my name and its actual meaning. I often listen to every ones problems, stories, good things that have happened to them, their ranting that they just need to get out, or if they just want to talk to someone. Samantha is the girl version of Samuel. People call me Samantha, Sammy, Sam and a few other nicknames. I don't care if people call me any of these names except Sam. I do not really care for it because I feel like it is too much of a boy name. Don't get me wrong, I love nicknames, just not that one. I did not get my named after a family member, but my parents were imbued to name me Samantha after 1980s pop singer, Samantha Fox. When my parents named me, they came to a fork in the road and could not decide to name me Samantha or Nicole, the rudiments of naming me. The reason why my parent choose Samantha is because they did not want to be doleful and name me Nicole because I was born around the time Nicole Simpson was murdered. My siblings and my name all have an a sound at the end of our names. My sisters name is Jessica and my brothers name is Joshua. I am very happy that my parents decided to name me Samantha because I think the name Samantha is as pretty as a rose.

ReplyDeleteI really like the idiom "my parents came to a fork in the road." Thanks for explaining about why you don't care for nicknames.
I loved the tone if your voice! It kinda went with the girl emotions in the poem. You seemed very comfortable sharing this with us and I appreciated it a lot. Good job!

ReplyDeleteOyur confindnence in your name was very interesting, and I liked how you used not only your full name but your nicknames as well. Nice use of the vocabulary.

ReplyDeleteGreat job and I like how you involved real life situations and problems that have occurred during the naming process, great job.
ReplyDeleteI like how you developed your prose. Like for me, I write like a textbook, so I can appreciate it when someone is really good at putting their words on the paper without sounding too robotic in their delivery. Though I think it helped having the author to read her paper. Bravo!

I liked hearing the little bit of history on your name and where it came from. How you were named and why.
ReplyDeleteYou taught me very quick last year about the nicknames.
Good job. I like how you compared your name to a rose and how you expressed not only your good feelings, but how you gave the feeling of how you dislike how some people call you 'Sam'.
