Free write In Felicia Pride’s reflection “The Meaning of the Name,” she “introduces her alter ego “Negra” as a vehicle she says she speaks through her “Felicia” is too shy (6-8). She says“Hip- hoppers have always assumed usual aliases. A survey of the members of the Wu-Tang Clan-from OL’ Dirty Bastard to Ghostface Killah- offers more than enough wild examples. And many of us have taken renaming to another level by also adopting additional persona” (7).Pride’s point here is that Negra doesn’t mean she is bipolar. What it means is that one should “embrace our multiple selves (the me, myself, and I)What does my name mean?My first name is kevan my ls first name is Peabody. My parents named me kevan because my mom wanted to name me after my father kevan Peabody Senior. My mother loved my father and wanted to always keep the name kevan in the family. My mother felt that the name kevan was a nice name for me. In my opinion I like the name kevan and I don’t mind being named after my father. My dad is a good man that raised me really well. He taught me to be a man and how to take care of my family. I am very grateful to have the name kevan. My last name is kind of funny but I like my last name. I think my last name gives me character and it’s very different. When I was growing up a lot of kids made fun of my last name but it never got to me. As I matured and got older I realized that my last name was wonderful.
