When I saw this prompt I was like is there anyone who doesn't like their name? I guess there are people who feel like that their name doesn't suit them and that's why they are answering another name.
What's your real name?
My real name is ADEMOLA ESTHER OLUWASHINDARA, Ademola means crown of wealth, Esther means star and lastly Oluwashindara means God is still doing wonder. Who wouldn't like to answer all this kind of sweet names with a good meaning? I guess no one so for this reason I love my name and I am proud of them all.
There was a time I thought of it that if I finally get married, how can I leave my sweet father's name for someone's name because I don't know the kind of surname my so called husband will have but then when I said yes to my fiance I realized that I am moving from wealth to wealth lol 😂 don't mind me.
Is there anything you want to change about your name?
If I look at all the name all there is no need for me to change any of them because they have good meaning and they are good to answer even short form of it is also good so I wouldn't love to change anything from my name.
The reason why I am using princess-dara on hive platform is because I have one account with the name Esthery but I lost the keys to the account so I couldn't access it again and I can't open another account on the name again so I had to choose another name from my name again which makes me choose princess-dara.
Is there anything you would love to change in your name?
There is nothing I want to change in my name because I love the way they are and I love being called by my real name.
I remember some years back, I closed so early from work when I was still working in the factory and when I got to garage where I will take tricycle to my house a guy approach me he said, "Hello beautiful lady" I replied him, "Hi" he said again, "You are looking so beautiful and natural and I would love to know you more"
I don't even know what to reply him with I just said, "Oh thanks for the compliment" he asked what's your name? I replied him, "Esthery" He burst into laughter and said, "That's a sweet name but why don't you package it more like if anyone asks what's your name you can tell them Estherlove or something like that" I smiled, and replied to him, "I love my name just the way they are I am simply Esther so I don't want anything else".
Sometimes I wonder why people change their name because someone told them it can be more sweet when you add this to it or add that to it meanwhile the name is good just the way it is. And the same people that ask you to change your name will still be the ones to complain that girls love to spoil their sweet names just to of guys, well I don't fake it I love my name if I tell anyone and they don't like it I don't care in as much as I am happy bearing it that's all that matters to me.
My mom used to say something that (oruko ti o ba hun omo lo ma n je leyin odi) meaning " Some people change their names once they gain freedom from their parents or when they leave the house to other places" I never change my name for a day ever since I left home and I don't have any intention of doing that because the name suits me so well and I love it just that way.
