My Name Is Ambra
Where did you get your name? How did your parents come up with your name? These are questions I’ve heard a million times before. How I got my name is a pretty weird story. When my dad was a teenager, like most guys do, had an infatuation with a model and her name was Abra. She imbued his decision for my name. He once told me as soon as he heard her name he knew he was going to have a daughter named Abra.
My mom however was none too pleased about the name. So, she threw a fit over it, not because she didn’t like the name but because that it came from a model. She tried to undermine his ability to pick names. She also, instigated most of the fights from what I’ve heard. I think she opened a can of worms every time she brought it up. So they fought and fought until somewhere down the line BAM Ambra came up. That was the only name that they both could agree on.
The funny apart about all of this is they fought over nothing. Nobody except for in school calls me Ambra. Since the day I was born I was called AJ. At first I thought it wasn’t cool to have a guy’s name, but as I grew up I liked having my own little nickname. People also, have asked me what my name means, from what I found online it is Italian for Amber. This is probably why most people mistake my name for Amber. I thought I was the only one in the world with my name, but thanks to the power of the Internet I found 10 other people's face book pages that have my name. One day maybe I will cross paths with another " Ambra ". It's funny because I told my mom that there was somebody else out there and she yelled " No, not another you in the world ".
I really loved your last sentence. It was cute. :)

ReplyDeleteThis was great! You went in detail with your name and it almost sounded like a story.

ReplyDeleteI like that you learned to like your name, but I've known you for a long time and I've never heard of someone call you AJ.
ReplyDeleteI like how you put humor into your writing. I think your name fits you
ReplyDeleteOne, I love your name. Two, I love how you pieced this writing together. You are a very wise teenager. And this is a very mature blog!
