Lyla Rose: A Short Story

I gazed fleetingly at the woman, and the sight of her big, black eyes popping out of her skull at me had started to unnerve me a little. That was when I began to whisper, “Mama,” trying to get her attention across the table. But it wasn’t until the creepy woman had rapped her knuckles on the window and shouted, “You!” before pointing a bony finger at my mama, that my mama’s attention had finally been pulled away from her cell phone which she had been preoccupied with.

"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" is a popular reference to William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, often used to imply that the names of things do not affect what they really are. Well, this might have been a correct reference in olden times. But, we live in the 21st century, and choosing the perfect names, be it for our business or for our children, is of utmost priority. What's in a name? A name is something you turn to when you hear it being called from a friend down the hall. A name is one of the first things you receive when you enter the world. Names mean so many different things and come from so many different places. Well, choosing a name isn't easy. So, here we aid you with the

I wanted to say I'm sorry for the Instagram pages and all of the rude stuff that I had said. I realize that it was stupid and ignorant and that I had gone too far as soon as I made the page. Yeah, we had our issues, but that was over until I had brought it up again and dragged you back into it and I'm sorry for that. I admit that the whole idea was out of anger and stupidity and I acted on it instead of just letting it go or even talking to you if it had really bothered me to the point of all of this. I honestly regret ever making the account and ruining your morning, I'm sorry. If this bothers you after, then if you feel comfortable, we can talk, no drama, no pages, no talking behind backs just talk. If not I am okay with that,

I honestly do not know why, but I love the name Gianna! It is just a really majestic name to me! Gee-on-uhh! I LOVE IT! If I have a child someday, (and if it’s a girl) I wanna name her Gianna! Or maybe even Katana! :O I LOVE THAT TOO! <3 I don’t know why but I love those names. Maybe it’s just a faze… OOOH! I just thought of another name I like! Mable… maybe. Yeah, I think I’m going through a faze, because I used to love the names Payton and Riley, but I suggested the name Payton to my aunt and uncle, because they were having their second baby. And when they took the name Payton, I didn’t wanna name my kid that when I’m older, because I thought i’d be awkward. So now I like the names Katana and Gianna! I don’t know why I don’t like the name

“Please! I can’t breath!” Again, her words were lost in the sea of voices. Suddenly the swarm quieted and Ren spoke with malice and venom pouring from every syllable.

I stood up looking at them both, then looking to my right to see the dead body.

My mother said that she give me the middle name Leigh, because there was really no other name that went well with Bradie. If my dad had had it his way, I name would be Ludmila after

Ever wondered why you have your name and where did it come from? I questioned my parents why did that name stood out to them. According to studies, people with uncommon names dislike their names given to them by their parents. I’m proudly part of that small percentage that likes it . People with uncommon names should be proud to receive such a unique name. People should know the significance of their name and be proud of it.

Ace took the brunt of the pandemonium when she ran through the gate. In its place, silence settled. From their knees, Looey’s people shifted and steadied themselves against the gravel.

For you parents that have yet to choose a name for your baby - you should learn from this lesson. You may want to keep you favorite names secret - or only share with people that 1) aren't going to have kids anytime soon or 2) you can definitely trust. Unique and/or well-liked names can become very popular, very quickly.

I feel the most important factor when it comes to choosing a baby’s name is to make sure it sounds suitable with their last name. I don’t know if I’ll marry anyone, or if I’ll take their name or keep mine, or if I’ll have a child with them. But, if all these requirements were met, that’d be the first issue I’d consider when choosing their name. In closing, my name is Luke Mitchell Ison, and now you know more about my

My middle name is Ryan it means “Little King”. I am named after a soccer player who played for Manchester United his entire career. His name is Ryan Giggs and he is my dad’s favorite player. My first name is Paige, the only reason of that is because my older sister could not say Emily. She liked Baby Paige better, and my parents were between two names. I don’t really like my name I would have rather had been Emily than Paige. It could be worse, just got to be happy with what you have and live life to the fullest.

I am one of those weird kids who goes by their middle name, which I totally blame on my mom. Victoria Lilly Myers. That’s my name. The story behind it is kind of cute though. My mom and dad both agreed on Victoria but could not agree on a middle name. My dad wanted to name me Victoria Secret! Holy cow! How embarrassing would that be? According to mom, she was big fat pregnant laying in the bed and dad was like, what about Lilly? Mom said a light bulb went off and she immediately knew that was it. When I was born she actually named me Lilly Victoria but when the forms came to fill out she said this did not flow right and named me Victoria Lilly. She made this decision knowing that she would call me Lilly because I reminded her of a beautiful delicate flower. The fact that Lilly’s are her favorite flower was an added bonus.

A few dog names that people use a lot is Max, Bailey, Belle, Rocky, Buddy, and much more. Many people name their dog haphazard things or stupid things, but I guess they like that name. There is nothing wrong with that. The name may be unpleasant to others nonetheless and they will most likely will judge you and that dog name. Admit it, while reading the names that I have indicated, in your head you adjudged the name. By either saying how stupid it was, how crazy, and how strange they are. Maybe you liked that name, but most people would see that as a debauched excuse for a name.

A deep voice broke my angry thoughts for a second “So this is where you have been my little princess…” his eyes stared through me as he spoke “Yes grandfather… why are you here?” I spoke through my teeth trying to keep calm. His eyes finally focused on me when I asked that question “It hurts me you ask such a questions. I came to check on my lovely granddaughter…” his voice faked sincerity.
