Blog #4 - Names

     The root of my name is Ken. Which  actually comes from my great grandfather's name, Kenneth. That's why my name is "Ken-na". It means wise in Old England / Welsh. My last name is spoken as "Hack-e". Although my name is simple. Many have mispronounced it before. Such as the 'e' is silent in Haacke. Does it bug me if a substitute or a person I'm just meeting, sounds it out wrong? No I won't be mad. It's not their fault. Although  when people say my last name as "Hack" it does bug me. But "Key-na" doesn't as much because some of my friends call me that as a nickname. I'd much rather prefer Kenna Haacke pronounced correctly than any other way because I think everyone's real name suits themselves and as for myself. I think my name is unique 'cause it's a name you don't hear very often. So yeah, I do like my name even if it's uncommon.  When I was younger I didn't like it as much. I preferred being called a name which was more popular. But As you figured out I've got to like it not mind by first and last name... It's my middle name I don't like!
