Power of Names

I don’t like my name, people don’t pronounce it correctly most of the time..Luanna, except the meaning

With only one n it means Graceful battle maiden or female warrior

I changed my name when I got married both times, I have gone back to the first marriage name at my children’s request.

All my children were named after a relative…..but they were people I liked and respected.

My nickname is “girl” or “brat”, which my Dad calls me depending 🙂  and “Red” in school, my hair, really original lol.

I had a nickname that 2 childhood friends called me “LuLu” they were sisters who died way too young.  Therefore no one else may call me that name.

Sort of named after my Mom but not quite.

Names make people think of beauty, ugly, smart, belonging to certain religions, strength.

In books and stories a name can produce feeling and in life I don’t thing they mean anything in regard to the person.
