don't cloud me

i've decided to change my name to Rainbow Starchild. I've come to the decision that names are very much like clothes, and should be changed as soon as one outgrows, or outwears a certain name. See, usually i just alter my name, my real name is tabatha-ann, so sometimes, depending on where i live and who i want to be, i change it. it'll be ann, or tabatha, or tabi, or tabi-ann. anyway, it's like altering clothes. once you do it too many times it's just all a mess and doesn't work anymore. so you need to get yourself a new outfit. or new name.

why should we all be burdened with a name that our parents or original name-givers thought was appropriate, just because they liked the sound of it. I think one should choose their own name, just as they would hairstyle and career.

don't let something that your parents thought was nice-sounding tie you down and make you be someone you may not be. be yourself. name yourself.

Its funny, I've ALWAYS loved my name. The spelling is so unique, and I feel that Dezeray suits me. Its different, and gorgeous. However, noone ever calls me Dezeray, I'm always called Dez...
