What is in a name ?
A name is a label. It gives an impression upon the value that a person has placed on you. It tells people what to think of you as far as where you are from, your age, potentially your demeanor. If I called myself Betty Or Brunhilde you would have a completely different perception, I believe. I think im gonna look for research on this.
What if its a name that I don't call myself?
My name is who I am, it is in essence me especially my chosen name.
For a while I have been choosing beautiful names for myself. These are the names that show me respect. If you choose to use them, i will feel happy and honored.

Lima Being -- Originally from Lima Beans, my friend used to call everyone things that were in animate objects. One person was lampshade. I was limabean.This guy was a very talented writer and poet and not bad with cartoons. I hope he's out there taking care of himself now but i figure he's probably not. Thanks anyways.
Capn Girlpowa--- Resulting from my obsession with the concept of girl power when I made the server specifically for it, inspired by @kubbyelizabeth
Jacinda Glass --- I used to look like a woman on The Real WOrld named Jacinda so another guy friend gave me that nickname. I loved that name and looking like her. Then i though Jacinda Glass was a nice pun for someone who is very into Alice In Wonderland.
Lisa Marie-- My father named me. I used to hate it. Now im okay.
Today I am writing a post that ends with me affirming myself and the things I love about myself as well as the names I prefer. I hope you find it interesting.
Mentalhealth challenge --- Show us the names that other people call you, even though they are not your names.... then show use the names YOU CALL YOURSELF both literally and figuratively.
