I just want to say that your name is wonderful and although you may not found that it was nice name in your younger years. That name has become popular all over. I'm glad that you ended up appreciating you name. I'm glad that you have found your identity and also accepted your name. Nice you meet you Ishmael.

Great point made about whether parents consider their children when naming them something out of the ordinary. I liked the way you went from showing the downside, and then the more positive.
Good luck in the competition.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This story makes one think about what is in a name and that we should appreciate what goes into choosing a name. It also makes one think about how much a child may pick up while still in the womb. A very nice write up.

You need to promote this with member cents, as I believe you could win this challenge. Short and sweet and really neat, Ishie! Well done, and good luck.

Really cool. Using the first line from a classic would be tough but doable. I really just like the story. It was an easy read all the way through. There was no dialogue, but it didn't take anything from you storytelling.

It is funny how we grow into our name and eventually it seems to say everything about us and I enjoyed your philosophy here, we need to make the most of our time and not worry about names, love Dolly x x x

    Thanks for taking the time to read and I agree about growing into a name. But sometimes it is difficult when you are a kid. xxx
