Aniah, Aniah, Aniah

My name doesn't stand out as much anymore. I feel like every time I google my name, the number of Aniah's on earth increases. This shouldn't really affect me, but I find it a bit irritating, because I'm used to being told that I have an interesting name--unique.

I went to the school library, and when the librarian saw my ID she said: "She has the same name as my baby girl." Then I thought she probably got the idea from my name. So far, I'm the only girl there with the name Aniah. Then I checked out friendster and facebook. Aniah's are everywhere.

I want to stand out somehow. I figured it helps that my name isn't so common--well not anymore. It sounds silly, but I feel like I've been robbed or something. It's not really identity theft, a lot of people have the same names, but I'm still disappointed.

I feel like I'm being a baby at the moment. I guess I just have to look at this at a different perspective. I just have to figure out what that perspective is. I mean, I surely don't want to hate every Aniah's out there, that would be really ridiculous and stupid. For now, I would just have to accept this change. I mean, it's not like it's a bad thing--as long as it doesn't become a hooker name--or any other name type that would stain it--then I'm okay with it for now.
