"Name Is Way a to Identify You" "Hey catty, fatty", this was my nickname when I was in middle school and till sophomore year of my high school. My actual name is Kartik Parikh, and I really hate my name because word "Kartik" means a person who causes fights between to people that's why they used to call me catty and they added fatty because it rhymes. When I was in sixth grade I used to tell my mom to change my name every day. They always used to get depressed and I felt guilty after a month or so I stopped telling them because I realized that the name they gave me was name of a God and it was popular during those times. But I had precise point because I thought that my nickname would stay with me whole life and everybody in high school, and at my job. I thought that I would change my name from Kartik to Dravid.

But when I got guts to go and change my name I heard that we are moving to U.S. All my tension went away because nobody up here knows the meaning of Kartik. I came here and nobody knew how to pronounce my name it bothered me for couple of days but after one week it didn't because I didn't knew how to pronounce other people right. I felt that time it doesn't matter by what name they call me but it matters who we are with. Sometimes I miss my nickname because people who used to call me that those were my friends and I miss hanging out with them.

I got hang of my name and after this assignment I really started like my name and would never change my name a bit.
