Not everybody has a story behind their name. I am one of those people. My mom and dad were deciding between two choices for my name. The two names my parents had to choose from were Ernie or Tyler. My father wanted to name me after my grandfather. My grandfather was strong as an ox back in his younger days. He was always a hard worker throughout his life. The main reason my father wanted to name me Ernie was so maybe I could be half the man he was. My mom wanted to name me Tyler Lee Naylor. My mom wanted me to be my own person. She did not want me to follow in someone else’s path. My mom wanted me to make my own path. I got my middle name from my dad. Both of our middle names are Lee. My name turned out to be Tyler Lee so I can live my life as my own person.
I like how you want to be your own person

ReplyDeleteI think that you used my mom a little too much but I think it's interesting to hear these type of things about your name. You should have done one on your last name. It's pretty awesome .-.
ReplyDeleteTyler, great job! I like how you explained the different reason your mom and dad wanted to name you differently. Very detailed!
ReplyDeleteI like how you compared your grandfather to a ox. And I liked how you talked about making our own path.
ReplyDeleteIt's cool that your parents didn't want to name you after something or someone

I like how you gave us information about both of the names your parents were deciding on.
ReplyDeleteAwe! That was so beautiful! It kind of hurt me to here you say the "half the man he was" thing because you are a strong individual. Don't base yourself on others.
ReplyDeleteI' really enjoyed this and I'm glad that you got to be your own person
ReplyDeleteI think it was good that your mom wanted you to have your own name and live it make it meaningful :3
