When people 1st hear my name my latin roots don't seep though 

A billions nicknames come from the american name: a-liea, lya, ali and li-li

When my father side says my name their latin toungues make my name sound jumbled but I love this because then they call me Carolina 

 

Ah such a beautiful name but then my mother sides says it and the sound is so dreaded; ugly 

The nicknames from Carolina are amazing: Lina, Carol, Ni-na, Caroline

Ugh I hate the name Caroline it's a fraud a copy cat! It makes my name sound so normal so common

But my roots, undiscovered grounds DR and Panama my love countries, my father's countries 

 

Daniels oh how I wish my last name was like my grandmother'.

When my family says her last name it brings grace and honour but Daniels normal and common.

 

I don't wish for a whole new idenity buy my heavenly name would be Carolina Aaliyah Garcia but I am stuck in my hatred name Aaliyah Carolina Daniels Ugh oh how I wish I had a different name


The author's comments:

MY name is mostly a weapon when it comes to bullying but I like to make a joke about it yes I look more spanish than american and my name ruins the apperence but this is my joke. NO I don't hate my name. But I do hate the envy others think of my american name so I bring my laughter towards a latin name.
