Old People Names

#OldPeopleNames Part I

Back in 2011, I came across this tweet with my name in it and the hashtag #OldPeopleNames. I am just using that hashtag as the title for this post here.

When I was a kid, my parents gave me a name that belonged to the category of #OldPeopleNames. I didn’t know back then it was going to be a fun ride with such a name.

To make things fun and understandable for everyone, let’s just say my name is Grandma.

During the childhood phase of my life, I had a difficult time accepting my name, especially during my school days.

That one time when I joined a new school:

As time passed, the name no longer bothered me.

The interesting thing is the different reactions I get when I introduce myself to new people.

The worst part (depends on the situation) is that I just have to say my name once and people will remember it forever.

And the best part is awaiting their reaction when I introduce myself to new people :)
