Matching Your Name

Amy Reese…that would be me, for those of you who know me this blog site will be filled with random thoughts, activites, and just anything out of the ordinary…at least I think.  For example, my full name means beloved, waterfall, enthusiastic…pretty random.  With this I live up to my name though.

Beloved means dearly loved; dear to the heart.  Here’s the proof for this definition: my Mom and Dad love me, thus I am beloved.  (Living up to my name already).  But the original spelling is actually Aimee and it came from France, but through the years human nature got lazier and it shortened to just Amy.  But I like to think that I have all different types of spelling, but really the only one you need to know is the A-m-y one.  Pretty simple…

Waterfall means a perpendicular or very steep descent of the water of a stream or river.  So this perpendicular is a term relating to math…which I am majoring in.  But if we look more in the methaphorical sense, a waterfall could symbolize a lot!   For instance, they are always changing, the sound of them is amazing (and I do like to talk so I just need to find someone who appreciates my voice, becuase it’s constant), they’re peaceful, a little dangerous depending on a few details, the list goes on!  So don’t think of just defining my middle name (which you’ll just have to guess) to being just one thing, becasue it symbolizes so much more!  Especially if you split water and fall up.  Water is unpredictable for one thing.   While fall could represent my less than gracefull side.

Then we get to my personal favorite, Reese, which is enthusiastic.  Now if you’re a male and also named Reese it can mean fiery and ardent…but I’m a female and it’s not my first name so I feel like I can also include this is some aspects, but we’ll focus on the enthusiastic meaning of my name.  I feel I’m a pretty enthusiastic person.  Enthusiastic means 1 a: belief in special revelations of the Holy Spirit.  2a: strong excitement of feeling.  Both accounts work for me: I definitly have the Holy Spirit in me becuase of my Savior Jesus.  And then the excitment/feeling…have you ever heard…well more like see me talk?  It’s like dancing to a voice my hands move so much, it is actually relatively impossible for me to talk without my hands-I just can’t do it.  You might be thinking I love my name a little to much, and maybe I do because I’ll probably be crying on my wedding day that I have to change my last name (but that is another post in itself).  But if you look at the meaning of names and then a person’s personality it is pretty cool how they match up…try it.

So thank you Mom and Dad for my name, Amy Reese.
