I didn't want an European name for my daughter, and I didn't want a "Kita, -nica, -asha, either (like what my mom gave me
)
so I choose a African name with a profound meaning.....that way if anyone ever asks her what it means she'll be able to give an intelligent answer...her name is ethnic enough to suit my "militant" side, yet easy enough for "everyone" to pronounce...
I must say that my name hasn't presented a real problem for me thus far and once I finish medical school I'll probably go to just using my first two initials...(so patients will be very surprized once I walk in the room)
