Names

Think today about people who go by their full complete name. Frank Lloyd Wright for example. He is never called Frank Wright. Always his full complete name.

My full name is Debra Jean Ann Kusnik, my middle name is after my grandmother. I did not like my name because my classes had many Debbys and, it was confusing. I wanted to be called Dj.


1. Write today your full complete name. Do you like your name? Were you named after anybody a relative or someone famous? Would you change your name if you could? What would your chosen name be.
