Religious Name

                                                                Religious Name
             My name is Daniyal.  I know it’s my middle name, but everyone calls me this name.  I like my name, and sometimes I feel it’s good luck.  Many people have their faith, and I believe that name plays a role in our lives.  Daniyal means, “who stands up for justice”.  My nick name is Danu, and all of my friends call me Danu.  Danu is my very famous nick name, more famous than my real name.  When I came to the United States of America people called me Daniel, and they still do.  However, at first I didn’t like it.  After a while I got used to it, Daniel is my American name now.  I don’t know much about my name, but in Pakistani culture, we name after messenger, prophet of Islam.  My name was named after a messenger, I like my name and I don’t want to change it.  My grandfather named me Daniyal, this makes me love my name more.  I never thought about changing my name because it’s a nice name, and it’s easy in English and Urdu.  In the United States of America, person is known by his last name but it’s different in my country.  In Pakistan, people are called by their middle name and their father’s name would be the last name.  Usually but not necessarily, I like to be called Danny or Danu.
