Ava Mascuch
My Name Piece
October 8, 2014
My name is Ava Celine Mascuch. I think my first name is like the color light green because it is a very simple color. I think my name is a simple color because it is only three letters. Also light green goes with other colors and I think my name goes well with my last name. Light green can also stand out on a page. This shows that even though my name can blend in with other names it can also stand out. My name is prime because it is only spelled with three letters which make’s my name different and not like other people’s names. It makes my name original. I like that my name is a palindrome because not many names sound the same when you spell it backwards which makes me feel like I am unique.
My middle name is the same name as my great Aunt Celine’s and I think it suits me really well. I think my Mom and Dad chose to use my Aunt’s name because they are very close with her, she is an important person in my family and my parents wanted a part of her with me. She was named Celine because when my Great Grandmother was in the hospital after my Great Aunt’s birth she was taken care of by a religious nun, Sister Celine. My Great Grandmother was dying of Tuberculous and wanted her daughter to be baptized. She told Sister Celine to name her baby “Celine”. I’m proud to carry the name Celine and take it forward in my family.
Ava is not the type of name to have a nick-name even though my friend’s always try to give me nick-name’s such as Av, A.V.A, or A but it doesn’t work because my name is too short. I wish I had a nick-name but I would not change my name just to have one.
My parents were considering other names. In fact I was not named for 24 hours. Some names they thought of were Lucy, Jane, Amelia and Anne. Overall they thought that Ava sounded the best with my last name and Ava suited me best. I wouldn’t choose any other name because I have been Ava all my life and it is a part of who I am.
