Behind the Name


Whats in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet.

Dear old Shakespeare said it. What exactly IS the importance of a name? 
Its who you are characterized by all your life. The one word describing you. 

So what is the meaning of Glad not Glade? Well, the story goes back to my first period English class. You see, my name is AniGLADys. Glad. Not Glade. And it just bugs me when people pronounce it incorrectly! So my friends we're making fun of me for such reason and came up with the phrase: "Its GLAD not GLADE" (-Tom) 
 
But seriously, a name can mean so much. So the next time you complain about not liking that title your parents gave you, think to go Behind the Name, and find out what exactly your name might mean...
