A teacher may yell, 

“Anastassia, turn in your homework!”

or a blank face rapidly waving at me may say

“Hey Anastassia!!! What’s up?”.

Even though these sentences are almost like day and night one thing remains the same. The name There are many advantages and disadvantages to having the name Anastassia. First I will start off with some exciting advantages.

The First Advantage is that the name Anastassia is a very unusual name for someone in living America. Most people who have my name come from my hometown of Russia. Thus making my name much more interesting. My opinion is that having an unusual name is far more interesting than having a common name such as Ann or Sarah and so on. The second advantage to my name is that it gives out a KABOOM type of reaction, because it’s not so plain. People also enjoy saying it and not only that, but it fits my KABOOM type personality. The last of my many advantages is that my name is some what hard to forget. Once I say it, it will cling to most people, making it difficult for them to erase it from their mind. In my opinion being forgotten is almost as bad as the equivalent of never being introduced.

As any name comes with advantages it may also come with troublesome disadvantages.

One of the disadvantages is that many people can not pronounce my name correctly because of how it is spelled. Many people prononce it as Annastaysya or Anniestayja or somethings that can not even be repeated. Another disadvantage iss that having such a long name can be dragging and choosing a nickname like Ann would not be a good option for me.

 Even though I have advantages and disadvantages to my name I would never change it, not matter what. I believe that a name is much more than what someone calls you. It is a personality. A lifestyle. Something that you just have to live with. I believe that your name is you.
