The name Makenna

is printed in thick black ink

on my birth certificate

It’s my official name

But no matter how many

people say it’s pretty

I dislike it with a Burning Passion

 

I’ve always dreamed of something

more exotic

more majestic

something that should belong to a

Princess

or at least something wacky

like Zelena, Evangeline, or Lilija

 

But No.

Makenna sounds like an unnatural

crossbreed equal to an aligunkey

besides it’s never on one of those

cheap keychains at a gas station

Also, my nicknames are always something strange

Mac-ina-cheese or MaCan-opener

Not Cool.

 

But…I’ve always wanted an

exotic, majestic, and wacky name

and Makenna is just that!

 

How many people have the name Makenna?

Do they spell it like mine?

I have to have my keychains specially made.

My nicknames are so original!

Makenna is a unique crossbreed

better than an aligunkey.

 

Ink on a piece of paper was

nothing

until I put meaning behind it

Makenna may just be a name

but it’s my name

It makes me…me
