Definition Essay: My Name
My name? It isn’t very unique, in fact you can find it on almost all of the name key chains, but yet some people can not pronounce it properly. I mean I guess that comes with most all names, but it is really annoying. How hard is it to pronounce Alyssa? Not A-lyssa! (Mr. Zanatta…) Not alisea. I am still astounded when people spell my name right. Even when it’s one of my close friends. Everyone always spells it wrong... They spell it Alissa, Alisa, Alysa. Sometimes I wish my name was a little more unique, something you couldn’t find on a keychain or something like that. But I was given this name and I like it I guess. It’s not the worst name anyone could have. But it’s just not different… My middle name is Nicole. I’ve asked my mom
why she wanted my middle name as Nicole and she said it was because one of my family members loved the name so much. Nicole was almost my first name. My last name is Durkin. It’s my dad’s last name. My mom’s was Fowler, until she married my dad. My initials are A.N.D. My dad calls me that sometimes trying to make fun of me but I honestly don’t care anymore. He has called me worse than that.
