YOUR MIDDLE NAME AND HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT IT
My middle name is Yayra. It’s the first name I mention when someone asks for my name. I almost never tell what my first name is. My middle name means so much to me. I am not really a family person….I have always been left on my own and I paved my own way. But my name makes me feel like I was not some unplanned pregnancy ‘cos trust me, I am treated like I was.
It means “Blessing” :) I am the only girl and second child of my mum so you can understand the attachment to the name. I like to think I am “Blessed” :) :) I like to think I am special.
I am very touchy when it comes to any of my names. But especially so with this one. This name defines me! It has been my mold, inspiration, nudge, guide…. In short, the very essence and meaning of it makes me who I am today.
I don’t think I could be this strong and pragmatic, blunt and sincere, fun and adorable if it wasn’t for the bond I have created between my name and me.
You will probably hear many girls say: “I am my hair”. With me, you will most likely hear me say: “I am my name.”
I am Yayra - Blessed and highly favored.
