if i had a daughter, i would not mind naming her Genevieve. she’ll probably hate me during her first years in kindergarten or 1st grade when she has to spell out her name or rewrite it in cursive a million times. i actually have trouble spelling it myself, but i think it’s a really beautiful name for a beautiful girl, especially mines. :) (also, i secretly want that name for myself hehehe. i hope you don’t find this post in the future, sweetie.)

i’ve always wondered if a name actually makes a difference in who you are. i’ve found similar traits in people who’s name are the same, but maybe that was me just believing that it was true or it was a coincidence. do you know a lot of Paul, David or John’s that are natural born leaders?

i’ve noticed in high school and college that kids with last names that end near the alphabet (r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z) are more quiet and reserved than others. perhaps it’s because the students with the last name at the beginning of the alphabet usually gets called first, for their names are listed at the top of the attendance sheet. during presentations, they are usually the ones who have to go first, leaving the students with the last name near the end of the alphabet anxiously and nervously awaiting their time to present. and occasionally, class usually ends by the time they reach towards the end, so those students would not be able to voice their ideas. this would happen repeatedly throughout their school years, and they’ve unfortunately become accustomed to the system. 

i know i’ve been affected by it. maybe that’s one of the reason for why i am the way i am. i don’t know…it’s just a thought.

now if i had a son…i’ll get back to you on that one. boys are weird.
