When
a kid was born, one thing that parents would decide is what is the most
beautiful name for their kid? So did my parents. Actually, I still don’t
understand about the meaning of my name. I never asked to my parents directly
about my name. However, I am certain that my name is given by them. I don’t
know how come. One thing that I believe is my name is a good name. My name
consists of two morphemes. The first morpheme is taken from Arabic. It is
written in holy Quran on the last reading. In English it means human being. Perhaps,
my parents hoped that I can be a real human being and a good moeslem. Eits, don’t
under perception first. I am a human being since I was born. I mean today is so
many human beings with the devil’s characteristics. That’s why I expect I won’t
be like that.
Even
my name is related with holy Quran (Islam), I am still searching about Islam
for my life. Even I say that I am a moeslem, but it’s not an easy thing to do
what Islam has been teaching. I often regarded that Islam doesn’t sticky in myself
even I usually call my name in my praying.
The
second morpheme of my name is so strange. Some people think that it is a little
feminism. I never found about the real meaning of that name. Sometimes I think
that my second morpheme is funny. Perhaps, it doesn’t exist in any language.
It’s not drawing about cultural background or religion background. For me, the
first and second morpheme of my name is like a hill and a valley. Both of them
are so different. One is general enough and another is very strange. Perhaps,
my parents would like to see their single son to be a different person (in
goodness things).
A sad story
happened when I did a school experience in an elementary school in Jakarta, it
was an introducing session and a teacher called my name with “Ibu”. Oh My God,
that was so embarrassing. I couldn’t complain at that time. I was only calm
seeing my friends laughed on me, Oh God.
Whatever people
think about my name, I feel comfort and proud having that name. Even I don’t know
why it can be, I believe that my parents put a big hope for me. I never think
about changing my name. I don’t want to change it into another. Perhaps, in the
future I will name my children with my name too. I feel my parents and all of
their biggest effort are in my name. It is also the symbol of my parents’ love.
I am so proud having this name.
