My Name



My name is Erik



I have always liked my name ever since I learned how to say it. My name is Scandinavian, meaning honourable ruler. The meaning of my name doesn’t really relate to me now, but it might later on in life. Sometimes people spell it with a “C” but my parents spelled it with a “K” because it is the Scandinavian way of spelling it and all my brothers also have“K” in their name. There is no real story on how my parents chose my name . They just found my name and thought it sounded good. Erik is a scandinavinavian name and my father is also Scandinavian so there was a connection. Some positives about my name are that it is short, easy to remember and very easy to say. I have never been teased about my name because it is too short to make fun of. Before I wrote this I never knew anything about my name, I hear it every day but I have never really thought about it. My name was like some random person you see on the streets, you know it’s there, but you don’t know anything about it. Now that I understand it more I know that “Erik” fits me perfectley



My last name is Dahl. My last name is also Scandinavian but it doesn’t really have a meaning. It is a unique name and can be hard to say. In Korea none of my teachers could say my name. My last name is like the number 1 it is a one syllable boring name. Roald Dahl (a famous writer) also has my last name. I used to think that my last name was weird and strange but now i have grown to like it. Now I think of my last name as a never ending road. My last name has been passed on for many generations and it has fallen to me
I chose this picture because i described my name as a never ending road.

"Now I think of my last name as a never ending road. My last name has been passed on for many generations and it has fallen to me"- I love this quote the most in your whole thing because it really makes my try hard to imagine and visualize it- a never ending road. It is true, since your name is short, it feels like it hasn't ended. Great Job, the only improvement I would make is with word choice. Keep up with the excellent work, Erik!
