I was named for my grandfather,
A man I'm often compared to,
But whom I've never met.
His name was Rodney
And he hated it.
He hated its harsh sounds
And the way the syllables
Made your tongue hang heavy in your mouth.
But my mother loved him
So when time came for me
To join this world she said
"In my daughter's name Rodney will
Live on so I can feel his presence still."
The only part she dared to keep
Was the first initial.
So here we have Rebecca,
Woman of the Torah
Woman of her grandfather.

ReplyDeleteHi my name is Zoe Gaskew. My name is Greek. I love my name, it means Life. My name means to me is sweet, loyal, nice and also kind. It means to me a lot of things. My mother named me after the daughter of Lenny Kravitz. She had a crush on him. I also like my name because it is easy to spell. What does your name mean to you Ms. Radding?
ReplyDeleteMy name comes from my parents. My moms name sounds similar to Nadia. when she was a little girl people would call her Nadia. She loved the the name so much, she named me Nadia. Her name is Naiya. Nadia means hope. The name Nadia means the best to me. I think it means have fun. I think that it means to enjoy myself. I am glad that my mommy and daddy picked this name. Thank you so much to be interested of picking this name. I am really glad that you did.
ReplyDeleteI like how your name means hope.
