The Power Of Names

A name can be the leading label of pleasantness and fame
 
 Or attract a rough time of ridicule like moths to a flame
 
 But at your parents place no blame
 
 For changing a name can be a fun game
 
 If your personality and name are not the same
 
 
 For the more Exotic personality Lilith, Hecate, Sheena, or Astarte are fine
 
 Or Mary, Nancy, Ann, Katherine or Linda for the more refine
 
 So your possibilities and palates do not confine
 
 Instead, present your name as a unique wine
 
 Laced with lots of delightful discoveries to untwine
 
 And at the sound of your name all would want to dine
 
 And attempt to indulge in what makes you tick divine
 
 
 A name is like a silent whisper from which people can form their views on you
 
 For example, if your name is Roxanne, what comes to mind is a rocky view
 
 Of You stood upon a boulder, whip in hand while many masochists crawl around in a queue
 
 Therefore it is an excellent name for the hearts as stiff as a statue
 
 But entirely incompatible with the faint-hearted and easy to subdue
 
 Or if your name is Rita, coming to mind is a diamond as big as Peru
 
 While you are liked by many and disliked by only a few
 
 Yours is an excellent name for the artistically talented, adding to monotonous lives something new
 
 
 A glorious name need not be song
 
 But can be anything that will steal the show like a struck gong
 
 Depending on the role you wish to play along
 
 With a befitting name, you can never go wrong
 
 
 In some instances, slight changes to a name can help you obtain an image that others won't forget
 
 For example, Marge or Margie can admirably be strengthened by a shift to Margo or Margaret
 
 The softening or hardening of the "g" can make a vast difference to the world like the sunrise and sunset
 
 With a soft "g" and a diminutive "ee" sound Margie adds a quality of helplessness like an infant pet
 
 While Margaret, however, has the hard "g" in the centre coming right down like a mallet
 
 Followed up with a hard to form "ret" so obviously such a name can present to some listeners an ego-threat
 
 
 A name portrays a great deal about an individual's leadership game
 
 While few realise the impact, it has on fame
 
 Names are very much like looks and form our human frame
 
 So remember whatever name works best for you, do not hesitate to claim
