My Name

Alexis
People look it up & it says "helper" or "defender"
I am not much of either but I guess I try
I do not think that my parents were striving for that though
My mom changes it all the time; there is multiple reasons
"I liked that name ever since I was younger",
Or "We found it in the baby book."
But the most famous is "I always liked the car Lexus"
Gee thanks mom
Quite honestly I always preferred a nickname like "Lexi" or "Lex"
I am not a big fan of my name for some reason.
Could it be because it is a big name for boys in Puerto Rico?
I cannot answer that question but maybe one day it will come to me
I have always met more guys named Alexis than girls but hey I'm not judging
I always thought "well if I married him we could have the same name.."
Aha well then that would be cool I guess
Sometimes I think, what if my name was something different?
Would my personality be different?
Would I still be like a bottle of champagne?
Bubbly when my tops on, but when you pop it off, I burst with excitement or anger?
Well I will never get answers to any of those questions.

  4. I like how one of your moms reasons is because of the car. Moms just don't make any sense sometimes.
