Olaronke Animashaun

Family Name

    My names are OLARONKE ANIMASHAUN. Olaronke  can be splitted into two different nanes which is OLA which means "wealth" and RONKE which means "i have something to cater for", so my name means "I am wealthy and i have something to cater for". This name was given to me by my grandmother because i am the first child of her favorite child.
   My surname is my biggest issue because people read so many awkward meanings to it. ANIMASHAUN is my surname which is a name that has been running down the generation of my family. ANIMASHAUN means "a cheerful giver" but people call prostitute this name because they see them as a cheerful giver,which gets me irritated because my surname is used to qualify whores.
   I am always sad at peoples first reaction when they hear my surname, its either they laugh or they ask me if i am not stingy with my body. I use to imagine why people will think everyone who bears this name has to be a whore one way or the other. When i get more pissed is when a boy tries to ask me out and says am i not ANIMASHAUN why am i  been hard to get,this gets to my soul and i wish i could strangle such person.
  In conclusion i wish i never had a surname that has such a bad tag in the society or that was used in qualifying whores. Am happy and sad at the same time. Am happy because when i get married my surname will be changed, and am sad because my other siblings who are male children will continue with this name and will continue to been identified a cheap a a prostitute.
