My Name.

My name is Rachel Freeman, also known as Freebird. It is really nothing special, nothing fancy, am I right? I was not named after anyone, any special place or thing. It was not fate that brought me and my name together. There is not even a back story. It was an accident of sorts, I guess one could say. It was a late night, hours of searching, red eyes and tired brains kind of accident. An accident that, inevitably, blessed me with my identity. I was almost named Sarah. I was almost Hannah Freeman. Even though, hopefully, we can all agree that those names do not quite suit me very well. So it is safe to say that Rachel is a nice fit, correct? However, Rachel means 'baby sheep', or in the bible, 'Wife of Jacob'. Neither of these describe me at all. Rachel: soft like a baby sheep. Not even close. I could honestly not even imagine having another name, so yes, I am thankful for it. It is a common and popular name, but that is the least of my worries. My name is surely one to remember. One day, I could rule the world.

    Nice poem and I loved how you are proud of your name and you let no one tell you different.

    You gave good reasons on why you like you name, and how it fits you. You also gave the meanings, and how you felt about them. Good Job!

    Very thought though I can tell you done some research. I really liked that you said what you were going to be named and how the true meaning of your name didn't mean you. Nice job.
