My name
Are there many things you want to know about my name? Well, my birth name is Qui, but many people call me Florence. I like my name for many reasons. One reason I like my name is that it is very unique and I haven’t yet met a person with the same name as me. I dislike my name for many reasons. One reason I dislike my name is because, in school it is the name my parents put on my forms and everything, so that is what goes in the records of the schools and all the teachers don’t know how to pronounce Qui, so I don’t really like it. I have had many past experiences with my name. One past experience I had with my name is every time it comes to the beginning of the school year all the teachers don’t know how to pronounce my name, so they spell it out or something like that, it always bugged me but then eventually I got used to it because not everyone is Vietnamese.

Both of my parents gave me a different name. My mom gave me a Vietnamese name Qui. My dad gave me an American name, so other people can pronounce my name. He decided to name me Florence. At home both my parents and other people in my family call me Qui, but people outside the family, usually call me Florence. My mom named me Qui because it means precious and when I was being born her embolic cord was wrapped around my neck so i came out purple so she decided to name me Qui, precious. Ever since I was born until I was one year old I had to carry around a machine. The machine beeps every time I didn’t breath, so my parents would know. My dad named me Florence, which means flowering, blossom because thought I was beautiful and so surprised that I was a girl in Fathers Day. As I was on the Internet search for the origin of my name I found out that it is Latin, but it is Place of origin Eastern France.

My name is very important to me because that is what people are going to be calling me for the rest of me life. I am glad that my mom and dad named me Florence and Qui. I would like to meet at least one person

    A. Main Point #1: First, you need to think about how the name sounds when hearing it aloud. i. Sub-point sentence: In order to avoid any questions, when deciding on a name, think about your child’s point of view and imagine how he or she will have to live with it throughout their life.  Supporting material: Laura Wattenberg, a writer, researcher, and software designer, wrote in her 2013 book, The Baby Name Wizard, “we may see baby naming as an opportunity for personal expression. Use whatever criteria you like to narrow your name choices, but give the name this final test: if you were starting life today, knowing everything you know about this world, is this the name you would want to represent you?”…

    weather was never over 85° and milk was more expensive then gas. My whole name is Helen Lonsdale Torrey but I always just liked Lonnie. My name is from a tradition in our family that has been in practice since the 1820s. The first daughter of the first daughter is named after the grandmothers middle name and that daughters middle name was the maiden name of the grandmother. Every generation the name Helen is exchanged for Hetty of the first born daughter. There is a silver cup with all of the names and dates of birth of those first born daughters; I am on that cup to be remembered forever.…

    I chose St. Rose Philippine Duchesne to be my confirmation name. I chose her because she inspires me to follow God, even when it’s tough, and also not to give up. Throughout her life she was dedicated and perseverant. When she was young, her mother and her mother’s sister lived together, so she was always around lots of kids. When she got into her teenage years, her dad put her in a convent to study and be more polite. At first, she did not want to go, but she eventually gave in. After the first month, she loved it, and would spend all her free time praying. Then, her dad started to get worried, because he wanted her to marry eventually. He took her back home. After a year of introducing Rose to suitors, she was miserable. One day, a missionary came to town to talk about his travels. She went to see him,…

    On August 28th, 1998 I was born at Adena hospital in Chillicothe, Ohio. My parents named me Josie Dawn Hackney because of my grandpa and step-grandpa. Josie comes from Joseph and Dawn comes from Donald. I used to hate my name but when I found out when where it came from, then I realized how much it means to my mom now my name just kind of grew with me. I was a 7 pound 8-ounce baby and that is kind of big to be a 5-week early twin. Since I was brought home from the hospital, I have lived in Oak Hill, Ohio my whole life. It is not a bad place to live, but I prefer somewhere a little better.…

    gThere are three main types of cryptographic algorithms: (1) secret key, (2) public key, and (3) hash functions. Pick an algorithm for any one of these types (e.g., DES, AES, RSA, MD5) and describe how it works and where it is applied (For example SSL uses 3DES or DES) for message encryption. Use your own words. When you pick an algorithm, try not to repeat. Be sure to reference your sources. This is one source I like very much; it is easy to read, fairly up-to-date and has a good discussion on the various applications of Crypto:Your education is our priority!

    Changing My Last Name

    How many uncomfortable situations would I avoid by changing it, or scraping it off of my life once and for all. I guess it would make a substantial 180 degree turn in my life, but I would rather get interrogated a thousand times than change my last name. Aside from being something I was immediately born with, it is one of the few things that define me as an individual. Though not many look at it my way, I proudly hold on to it due to the enormous significance it holds. This word is a synonym for family and unity, which is the foundation of everything around me. With this, being content is the most important aspect a person has to focus on. Personally, my family brings joyfulness into my heart and is the one that can push me away from darkness. They are the building blocks who have helped me grow and stood by me since I was first born. Metaphorically speaking, my last name is the honorable representation of who I am as a person and the relationship I have with the people around me. So, why would I give up something so precious for the avoidance of something so…

    I was supposed to be named Rachel. It was a compromise, my mother told me, from what my dad had picked: Raquel. Growing up, I had a friend named Rachel that was nothing like me: soft, composed, and the sweetest smile. As it is hebrew, the name comes from the biblical name meaning “O Beautiful One” or “female sheep”. While this is nice and all, it was much more fitting for my friend. Never could or would I pick the animal the sheep to describe myself.…

    I am an abnormal person (most of the time in a good way.) My personality is eccentric, along with my hobbies and skills. Much of my life is aberrant from beginning to end. The only thing that is boring is my name, Taylor, which my parents happily gave me. Surprisingly enough, I was not named after anyone, which I find very uninteresting. Taylor was originally a surname meaning “tailor,” but someone in England was so unoriginal that they decided to name their child a surname. I was born in 2002, making me 13 years old. I was born and somewhat raised in Memphis, but I moved shortly thereafter to Bartlett.…
