Mere I aas For Identification
And we have our share of historical figures too. We have "Hugo”,
"Napoleon”. "Lincoln” and "Evangeline”, so we can sit back and wait
for a black-haired, slant-eyed, short-limbed Scarlett, and pray that she,
poor child, will not grow up with an inferiority complex.
Then, we have our practical parents, the born diplomats, who
insist that their offsprings be named after certain family notables.
And
so we have "Willcna”, from cantakerous grandfather Wilhelm, with a
fortune as yet undisposed of. and from great aunt Lena, poor but with
good social connections, my dear!
And imagination cannot conjure up
a greater monstrosity than "Edmar” for a boy, from Daddy Edward and
Mother Marion.
"Takakazu”, "Akemi”, "Ikuo”—heaven forbid!
No
wonder they resort to names with character of a sort, like "Chink”,
"Spud”, "Hippo” or "Hank”.
In contrast to the over-imaginative like the Chinese, Mr. Long Flop,
who in honour of Lindy, named his offspring "One Long Hop”, we
have the class of parents who have so many children that they have no
time for poetic imagination in names.
And so they have a system.
"Ichiro” for first, "Jiro for second, then "Saburo”, "Shiro”, "Goro”,
"Rokuro",
Shichiro'
"Hachiro”, and when the ninth came along,
since "Kuro
means ‘hardship”, in sheer desperation, resorted to "Matahachiro”. And in English. "Mary”,
"Tom”, "Dick” are just
as unimaginative---- mere tags for convenient identification.
It all boils down to the sad but true fact that parents lose a lot of
necessary sleep concocting appellations which nine times out of ten, will
turn out to be misnomers, to be cast aside for more rugged nicknames of
varying questionable origins, or for special pet names, adopted by the
individual as his own.
Hence "Mary” becomes "Marilyn”, "Satoko”
becomes "Yvonne”, "Michiko” is "Mitzi”, and "Michinosuke” might
become "Chink”.
The wisest course is to leave rhe child without a name.
"Baby”,
"Child”, "It”, "Little Stranger”, any of these might suffice until the
child develops somewhat and begins to show evidences of definite charac
teristics and temperaments. Then, it would be simple. A romantic child
would be given a romantic name; a matter of fact one a good, substantial
old-fashioned one: a beautiful child would pass with "Myfawny”: a
plain child could be "Sobriety”. It's all very simple.
Now, if it didn’t cost SIO to change my name, "Josephine” would
be the first to go. I could call myself "Anne”, or "Mariko” or "Mari”.
It’s all very simple!

I thought the world had sharpened her

I knew she could be hard and gay
with laughter edged with silvery stings
for I had watched her toss her ,head
and shrug her shoulder at sympathy.
And yet, as through the woods she walked,
her step was tender on the sod,
She walked as if she knew

Mere I aas For Identification
And we have our share of historical figures too. We have "Hugo”,
"Napoleon”. "Lincoln” and "Evangeline”, so we can sit back and wait
for a black-haired, slant-eyed, short-limbed Scarlett, and pray that she,
poor child, will not grow up with an inferiority complex.
Then, we have our practical parents, the born diplomats, who
insist that their offsprings be named after certain family notables.
And
so we have "Willcna”, from cantakerous grandfather Wilhelm, with a
fortune as yet undisposed of. and from great aunt Lena, poor but with
good social connections, my dear!
And imagination cannot conjure up
a greater monstrosity than "Edmar” for a boy, from Daddy Edward and
Mother Marion.
"Takakazu”, "Akemi”, "Ikuo”—heaven forbid!
No
wonder they resort to names with character of a sort, like "Chink”,
"Spud”, "Hippo” or "Hank”.
In contrast to the over-imaginative like the Chinese, Mr. Long Flop,
who in honour of Lindy, named his offspring "One Long Hop”, we
have the class of parents who have so many children that they have no
time for poetic imagination in names.
And so they have a system.
"Ichiro” for first, "Jiro for second, then "Saburo”, "Shiro”, "Goro”,
"Rokuro",
Shichiro'
"Hachiro”, and when the ninth came along,
since "Kuro
means ‘hardship”, in sheer desperation, resorted to "Matahachiro”. And in English. "Mary”,
"Tom”, "Dick” are just
as unimaginative---- mere tags for convenient identification.
It all boils down to the sad but true fact that parents lose a lot of
necessary sleep concocting appellations which nine times out of ten, will
turn out to be misnomers, to be cast aside for more rugged nicknames of
varying questionable origins, or for special pet names, adopted by the
individual as his own.
Hence "Mary” becomes "Marilyn”, "Satoko”
becomes "Yvonne”, "Michiko” is "Mitzi”, and "Michinosuke” might
become "Chink”.
The wisest course is to leave rhe child without a name.
"Baby”,
"Child”, "It”, "Little Stranger”, any of these might suffice until the
child develops somewhat and begins to show evidences of definite charac
teristics and temperaments. Then, it would be simple. A romantic child
would be given a romantic name; a matter of fact one a good, substantial
old-fashioned one: a beautiful child would pass with "Myfawny”: a
plain child could be "Sobriety”. It's all very simple.
Now, if it didn’t cost SIO to change my name, "Josephine” would
be the first to go. I could call myself "Anne”, or "Mariko” or "Mari”.
It’s all very simple!
