The name Blake is derived from the terms 'light' and 'dark'. This fits me because I believe I am equal in both negative and positive aspects. A name can generally become the very epicenter of a person's being. When someone is called by their name, they respond physically because their subconscious is telling them to respond. I would never change my name because I feel like it fits me perfectly

I think that how you described yourself was correct. I think that you could be a nice guy that has lots of comedy, while at other times you are a tad creepy (no offense :)

1) I believe that this quote means that no matter what you name something, it is the same at its core.

My first impression of you was that you were a bit intimidating because of your high intelligence level. You looked like you really hated the world and everyone living on it. The more I got to know you I realized you were the exact opposite, mostly. I never really judged you by your name, though.

Personally, the meaning of the quote is to give your own opinion on your name or anyone else’s name. I believe my name fits me because it is not common for many African American boys. My name starts with a Z and you know what they say, save the best for last. My name can shape my identity because it is unique and since it’s kind of a biblical term it shows some type of intelligence. My name gives off a kind smart type young man. If I had the option to change my name, I would not change it.

I think your name fits your because you are very good with respect and from my first experience with you I thought you were going to be shy and quiet now I see I was wrong.

The meaning of the quote is yo understand the impact a name has on a person's personality. I don't fit my name ,my name fits my name. I make my own definition of my name. When people try to define Keenan they'll think about me. If you were to search it the would be no accurate definition that fits me which is why I don't fit my name, my name fits me. A name should have zero impact on a person because when they're named, they are still a baby and don't have a personality yet. It is determined by what they are surrounded by. If you give someone a stereotypical name and put them in a completely different environment they wouldn't "live up" to their name. I would never change my name. My first impression of Jashua was that he was very open and outgoing.

When I first met Keenan I thought he was chill. I ended up being right. He was very easy to get along with because he didn't really have much to say.

The meaning of the quote is that if a rose had a different name then people wouldn’t have thought about it so sweet so if someone had a different name than they do, you wouldn’t have thought of them the same. I think my name fits in the stereotypical spectrum because I am Hispanic. I personally think my name fits me, I feel like names that end in “ana” have a childlike feel to them and I would describe myself as very childish. I think that a name could have an impact in shaping someone’s personality depending on society’s standards, I don’t think of that as a good thing but it is common. Anyways, if I could change my name, I would change it to Esme. I don't know why, it just sounds like a nice name to me.

In 6th grade, I didn't pay attention enough to have a first impression on people because I was scared and awkward (I'm still awkward) but Mariana seemed like a happy and funny person and now were friends so I guess I'm not that awkward.

I don't know if I'm funny. I like jokes but, I don't know if I tell good ones. For the happy part, I would describe myself as a pretty happy person, so your first impression of me was accurate.

I think the meaning of the quote is to get to know people beyond the stereotypes of their name. You can’t judge a person without knowing them. If you judge someone off their cover you miss out on a lot of people. I think my name fits me. I like to joke about the singer who shares my name. Other than that I don't know how it fits but it just does to me.

Omarion, your name really fits you because I have no other friends by the name of Omarion. My first impression of you was the singer omarion but once I got to know you realized you had no similarities.

The meaning of the quote is that most people automatically place a positive connotation or negative connotation on a word based on characteristics. Just like how a rose is a pretty flower, it is used to show affection, so most people place a positive connotation on the word. I believe my name fits me, because Kieley's are known to be leaders, and I like to take charge often. They also like to entertain people, especially new people. Which is true, I always like to make a good first impression. People have quick connotations added to names. If someone has the name "Bonquiesha" I will assume they are ghetto. Rather if someone has the name "Jessica" I will assume she is kind and calm, just off of stero types. If i could change my name, I would change it to Chyna, simply because I have always loved that name and i believe my physical features suit that name.

A rose was probably named a rose for a reason, maybe that of its color, or perfume. The quote could mean that a name is relevant for the identification of a person(or thing); or how it is irrelevant, if we name a rose a different name, yet it has the same scent, same color, but [maybe] a different meaning. I believe that my name suits me; I could honestly not see myself as another person, I am Amari... And I wouldn't -couldn't and shouldn't- see myself any other way. In all reality, a name has major affect on how one person sees another. I, as a person, do not judge a person because of their name often; their personality shows more by what they do and how they speak, but most/some people do. I would never change my name.

My partner is Amari. My first impression of Amari was that she was quiet and impatient. I thought she was the type of kid to stay to themselves and was shy. I also thought she was the type of student to go off on anybody who annoyed her or aggravated her.

The quote is saying that a name can impact what you think of something. I believe that my name suits me because it was chosen by my family and I think that I am very considerate of others opinions. A name can affect how a person sees another. For example, if the person has put a negative connotation to the name then that person will have a negative view of that person, until it is changed. If I could change my name i would change it to Christina. My first impression of Victor is that he is very focused and intelligent.

I think the meaning of the quote is that any body can change your name but your characteristics of you won't alter. I think my name fits me because I make the way I want myself to be interpreted even though I didn't choose it. I think a name can effect how somebody sees you because people interpret their own meanings and connotations of someone. As for first impressions, over the years, people classify certain names to particular groups. People automatically think because a name may sound proper or regal, they might think the person is royalty. People make their own impressions about others until they actually meet them.

The name Jada describes someone who is a special kind of girl. She's not like others. She's pretty, smart, sometimes mean, and shy. She will appear very shy, but once you get to know her she will surprise you. She is also courageous, honest, determined, original and creative. I do feel like this name fits me because it describes me as a person. When giving someone a name it does affect their personality and appearance because a name can give off different vibes based on the person. If I had the chance to change my name I wouldnt.

My first impression of Jada was kind of a mean girl. Mostly because of her demeanor, and now I know that she truly is a mean girl. Just not a Regina George type of one. She's only mean when she wants something, but she's actually really sweet.

My interpretation of this quote is that Shakespeare is comparing Juliet's name to one of a rose. He is saying that her name represents beauty. Personally, I do feel like my name fits me. It is a unique name, so whenever someone hears my name they will automatically think of me. The name Zamaria is known to represent all things beautiful, someone who is nice, kind, smart, pretty, and extremely giggly.

When i first met Zamaria I thought that she was very stuck up and that she thought she was the smartest girl in the school. Once i got to know her she wasn't stuck up, but she definitly thinks she's smarter than a lot of people. She is a very nice and considerate person.

This quote means that certain names are given to certain things for a reason. The names given to all the things around us make us feel certain feelings and give us either negative or positive mental images. I believe that my fits me quite well. My whole name means "God has given us a gift of mercy". It stands for

The meaning of the quote is that people often put a negative or positive connotation on names. To me, I feel as if my nickname, Maddy, fits me more than my real name. This is why I feel as if my name doesn't fit me. At the same time, I feel as if it does since I'm used to it. I've had this name since birth. My name plays a role in shaping my identity. Some people immediately think of a white girl when they hear my name. If I could change my name, I would change it to Maya.

The meaning of this quote is that the names of things are their names for a reason. I don't think any other name would fit me or my personality. My name, Raena, means queen in Spanish. Once you learn a person's name, it shapes you outlook on that person. You build their personality around their name. Honestly, I wouldn't change my name.

The meaning of this qutoe is almost everyone's name has a meaning. Usually their name corresponds with their personality. I do believe that my name fits me, because my name means salvation. Salvation means preservation from harm, ruin, or loss. I like peace around me so when i see my peers having problems i will either help them to figure it out or give them device.A name definitely shapes a person's identity and decides people's first impression on them. For example if you meet someone named Bonequisha you are probably going to think they act unintelligent. If i had the chanc to change my name i wouldn't because i like my name its unique.

I think the quote means sometime a persons name can put a impact on their personality. I think my name fits me because camya means cheerful and friendly. I believe that i am cheerful and friendly. A name is built to fit a persons personality. If I could change my name I wouldn't because my name is perfect for me.

I think the quote is an open question wondering why the word rose was chosen for the flower. Also asking why it has a nice connotation and if any other name could fit it.

I think that the quote means that a name may have a positive connotation or a negative one, but what defines your name is how you are.
