The Author

Most people in the blogosphere recognized me as Choc Mint Girl a.k.a Crystal. In this new space, I'd rather be known as Lady Blueberry, but you can still call me Crystal. :) Basically, this section is more into sharing your thoughts and my posts will always end up with question marks. So, you are always welcome to voice out your opinion or experiences in the discussions. Happy reading and sharing! :)

What’s In a Name?

This may sound crazy, but I have a girl friend who said that her mom let her picked her own name when she was a baby. So, we joked about it... Then, she explained further but still it sounded so funny to me he he he... and she didn't even try to enlighten us with more details, in fact she laughed along. I didn't have any idea what she was trying to say until now. ;D

I've posted a question about this in one of the discussion's sites,

"Would you prefer to choose your own name or let your parents do the job?"

The response I received was quite interesting:-

1. I like to choose my own name if given a chance... I am ok with the name my parents have given me, but I am not satisfied...hehhehe... that is why I came up with a name "LEX" hehehhe... I like that name.

2. I know it is chosen by my parents. I was too young to decide my name. I was about a month old when my name was given. I have heard people change the name when they grow up but have never heard children picking up their own name.

3. Hey, that's pretty weird he he he he...Reminds me of Beethoven the movie...where the kid played Beethoven's song on the piano and the dog barked ha ha ha...Maybe your friend's Mom tried to do the same thing to her hi hi hi... I think I'd let my parents do the job. I think they've done a great job in choosing my name hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi...

4. My father chose my name and I've always been proud to tell other people how I got my name. Now that I'm in Europe, I've never received as much compliments to my name as I was in the Philippines, specially for those who know the meaning of my name, which is "My beautiful".

5. I don't think that matters much!! My name is just like a boy's name, and nearly everybody heard my name will mistake me as a boy, but I don't care though so many friends tell the name doesn't fit me!

What about you?

My name? I'm happy with it. Maybe if I become a celebrity one day, then maybe I'll change it to something glamourous la.

Hi LADY BLUEBERRY,
I love your new blog. & guess what? I did your list of 8 on my blog. I hope you don't mind me giving you the url (you probably had it anyway) www.vince-s-ithaca.blogspot.com
I pledge to visit your brand new blog often!!
Nice work! :)
PS. Oh, one more thing. I kind of like the white words on a dark background. They make your words look more compelling. I remember I once was in a horrible mood for an extended period of time and spun off another blog (that's since went into oblivion somewhere). & it was all about sad stuff, thank God, I'm happier. Anyway, I wrote on a black background with the same white words.

Oh yes, Thank God you are happier now. To me, I'm kinda like the black background with white text fonts, a little larger and a touch of blue and purple because the colours stand out.

Well, thanks, again, for your support! Have a great week!! :)

Hailey's Beats and Bits: Hailey, hey! Thanks! He he... I was rearranging the links and maybe yours have been accidentally deleted. ;D I'll definitely add you up here. Take care!!!
