ORIGENES OF MY NAME


ROSA MARLENNY PERALTA
For those that didn't know my complete name is Rosa Marlenny Peralta. You know me as Rosa, but the true is that my family and my relatives don't call me Rosa they call me Marlenny my midle name. You maid say. " But why your midle name?". I'm going to tell you why.
I'm the first child of Quirino and Soyira Peralta. When my mon was pretnan of me. She was thinking in named me Crystal. Thanks god she didn't. But why Crystal?. At that time there was a really popular novela (serie) on TV in my country. The name of the main character of this novela was Crystal, so my mon and her sisters liked this name and they decided to named me Crystal. I don't like this name because it has the same pronunciation of cristal that means GLASS in English. So if my mon named me like that my brothers will be bothering me all the time. Well why did they change myname?. My father and his family didn't like this name and my aunt Rosy came with the idea of named me Rosa Marlenny. But why this name?. I told you guys the other day in my last post that the name of the mother of my father was Rosa Maria. She died when my father was 13 years old. My grandma left 15 children when she died the youngest one was 4 years old and the older one was 25. The olders children had to take care of the youngest one. This children love their mother more than nothing. In honor to her their named almost all the granddauhters Rosa. That's why my name is ROSA MARLERNNY. They did many covinations with the name Rosa.
There're two Rosa Maria, one Rosanny, one Rosangel, one Rosy, one Rosa Marlenny. There are some more, but now I can remember their mane becuse we are so many grandddauhters.
Nobody in my family call me Rosa because we are so many Rosas in my family, so my parents dicided to call me Marleny. When did I get use to the name Rosa?. Well when I started high school in my country . The teacher asked the students how we want everybody to call us. I said Marlenny bacuse I was use to that name, but she decided that I was going to be called Rosa because there was another student with the name Marleny in my class room. I said "Okay".
The problem started when everytime someone call me I didn't know they were talking to me because I wasn't accustomed to the name Rosa. Also when someone went to my house asking for Rosa or when somebody call me my mon said "There isn't anybody named Rosa in this house". So I had to run and said " Helooo mami that's me". That was really funy. jajajaja.☻☻☻
With the time I got use to have two names. My family and my relatives call me Marlenny and in the school and at work people call me Rosa.
That's were my name come from. I wish you like this history.
bye bye♥♥♥

I loved the story of your name. I was laughing aloud at the part where you started to name all the Rosas in your family. I also think it's hilarious that you used Marlenny because there were too many Rosas and then at school there were too many Marlennys! Your grandmother will certainly never be forgotten with all those people named after her.
