Rowena
I was curious on the origin of my name, my mom has not told me that much other than it means famous, a friend and joy. Hmmm … as I grew older I realized that in King Arthur there was a princess who has the same name as mine. So that means my name is as old as time, and I guess not so unique too. Princess Rowena, isn’t that royal? Well there’s nothing royal about me, now I have a friend whose about to give birth to a baby girl and up till now they haven’t decided on what to name her yet. So I googled online for baby girl names and meanings to see anything special and unique to suggest.
Mom used to joke around saying that she wanted to name me Agatha Christie after her favorite writer but my aunt won’t have none of it and she wouldn’t allow me to be named Ezra, after the poet Ezra Pound. So I dunno who came up with my name but it was something they both agreed on.
Too bad kids won’t have any say on the matter, tsk tsk … imagine what its like if babies get to select their names. I would have asked my mom to name me Glaeken, now that’d cause trouble as far as the pronunciation goes but damn I love that name. Especially the way it rolls out when I say it out loud. Weeeee but am happy with the birth name they’ve given me at least its not something so obsolete from the almanaqui.
