The K in My Name

                                            The K in My Name

 

My name is Nikolle Kowalsky. My mother gave me this name after being a big of Nicole Kidman years ago, but she wanted to do something different with the name. She added, two "I", and my father add a "K" because of his last name "Kowalsky". They did the same to my brother. His name is Lukas, following the same style. The tradition of adding a "K” to names didn't stop with my parents; others in the family did that too.

I really enjoy my name because I love how different and unique the spelling is and that few people have the same name. Another fact that I like is that the "K" in my name is connected ed with my whole family making more special for me. When I have my own children, I want to continue with this tradition and use a K in their names. I believe that this is a form to keep our family ties strong and maintain some connection through the generations.

When I think about my name, I believe that is a very strong name with a lot of personality in both languages, English and Portuguese. I don't think my name sounds soft when it's said out loud. That's why my parents and family are used to calling me "Niki" when the conversation isn't so serious.
