Hey, digital world, I'm thinking about names today. Who assigned your name, and how was it chosen? Does it mean anything

My mom named me Rose. Don't know why, but that doesn't really matter. I don't have a last name.

[tellmydad]

Like the flower, right? It's pretty.

How come you don't have another one?

[every_thorn]

Thanks.

I was taken from my parents when I was born, and the people who raised me designated me a number before I was taken on as an apprentice. I only learned my name a couple of years ago, but nobody bothered to keep a record of my parents' last name.

[tellmydad]

Just a number? Wow.

Do you ever think about taking a last name? Like, if you marry or something?

[every_thorn]

Yeah, it wasn't exactly the best childhood.

Well, if I get married, I probably will take a last name. As for right now...I don't know. Maybe it would be nice, choose something for myself.

[tellmydad]

At least you had one. I can't say the same thing.

That's what I'm thinking of doing. How would you pick yours?

[every_thorn]

I never really thought of it that way.

I'm not sure. Probably find something that seems important to me.

[tellmydad]

Hm. That's a good place to start.
