"My name isn't the most common, and when I was younger, it felt like everyone had trouble pronouncing it. Whether it was teachers trying to be funny or classmates making fun of how different it sounded, I felt like I had to explain it all the time. some call me eminent,elephant,etc My friends added 'Evi' to try to make it sound like a name i guess.

"There was a phase in school where I even thought about changing it because I just wanted to fit in. It was like everyone had a 'normal' name that didn't get a second thought, and mine? Well, it was always a thing,they’d even go ahead to ask “Evidence of what”

"I even started telling people a different name so they won't start asking too much questions But now, it's funny-suddenly, people are acting like my name is cool. It's like they all just discovered it, and I'm here like, 'Okay, where were you when I needed to explain this for the 100th time back in the day?'

"So, I'm embracing it now. My name is mine, unique and it's more than just something you say it's a part of my story…. It’s who I am I know some people might have gone through the same thing. Whether it's a unique name, a cultural name, or just something that stands out, it's crazy how the world's idea of "normal" changes with time. Anyone else out there who's gone through something similar?"
