My name is..?

Say it Rah-shay By Nov 20, 2008 4 Comments

During storytime I listened to some of the parents calling their various offspring and had to laugh at some of the nicknames that I heard. As I call my own child’ the Bee’ I ponder why I thought it was necessary to even choose a name for her since she has such an array of nicknames. I thought about all of MY names and wondered why I don’t have schizophrenia since I have many names and seemingly many faces that I wear depending on the names:

The various parts of me:
I’m ‘Missy’
My sister calls me ‘La’*
My aunt call me Mitala*
The bee calls me ‘Mommy’
Bubbie calls me Mit
Arli calls me Mitdy
At work I am called variations of Ruh-shay, Rah-shay, Roe-shay, Ray-cee (the Fed ex IS NOT FUNNY)
And of course: Raya.

[sigh]
I guess it could be worse…I could not be called at all?

    Raya is beautiful! LOL

    You should have added the name “Not, Raya” and “Yes, I am a twin”

    I so can relate to this! I have many names of which I didn’t create. My daughter tends to have many as well, because this has rubbed onto me.

    Great Post!
