Our Names Poem by VICTORIA GEORGE
Our Names
We’ve all been given a name
Which some of us really don’t like
Our parents are so much to blame
I think some of them do it for spite
Our names can date us for sure
So others can tell if we’re old
It’s a pity we have to endure
This way we’re all pigeon-holed
Chloe and Zak are cute tags
Paige and Brooke are young birds
But Elsie and Dot are old bags
And Gladys is too old for words
Just imagine the future’s old folk
With names and Kylie and Jude
It really sounds like a joke
I hope that I’m not being rude

Not at all! It will come to us all some day. Mine is a very old fashioned name, and I've reached the start of being an Old Bag too. Thoroughly enjoyed this write. I don't think parents see how the names would sound as the child gets into old age. My great Aunts were Primrose, Rose, Gertrude, Agnes and Ethel. Each one to its time. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX

I didn't like my name when I was younger, but now I think my name fits me or i've known into it, but you could always change it if you hate it that much.
