=Examining the Full Name=

Names. Are names just a title? Are names just other words? What do you think of your name? Does your name mean anything to you? Or is your name just something that catches your attention as it exits others mouths? My name is as beautiful as a summer night sunset. That is, in my opinion. If you really think about it, your name is like a book. Your first name is your title page. Your middle name is the pages of the book. Your last name is the ending page to the book. If you don't know my full name, you don't know me enough to judge this book. You should never judge a book my it's cover.

My full name is Carrie Jean Good. I was born in York,PA on May 3,1997. I was being brought into a very nice and caring family. i live with my brother Tyler Good, my mother Christine Good, and my father Franklin Good. I was fortunate at the time to have all of my great grandparents alive at the time. My mother and father decided that I would be named after two of my great grandmas. When I got into grade school, around fourth grade maybe, I didn't like my name what so ever. I was always getting made fun of because of my name. A lot of words rhymed with my name, so kids decided to take advantage of that and called me names. I used to hate my name as much as a little kid hates vegetables. Then as I started to grow up a little more and got into middle school, I realized my name wasn't all that bad. I was actually lucky to have the name I have. My name is unique and not many people have the same name as me.

For my middle name, Jean, I was named after my other great grandmother. My parents decided to name me after her because she was always there for them, no matter what they needed. Also, to my brother and I, she was like our second mom. She babysat us all our life up to about the time I got into fifth grade. So considering that, she played a huge part in my life. Therefore, they felt the need to name me after her knowing that should would be that "other parent."

In my opinion, I am very lucky to have the last name I have. My last name is Good. The last name Good is actually a German name. Uusally though, that name had something other then just Good. For example, there was many german people with the last names "Goodie" or "Gooden" Somehow throughout the years though, the other parts of my name got dropped and now I am lucky enough to have the last name of Good.
