All Beautiful Names

All Beautiful Names 
Image result for beautiful forest

My name is special for me, and it has a special role in my life. It was my grandfather’s sister’s name, and she died when she was just five years old. She was too young to die. After she died, my grandfather was so sad. My father decided to name me to remember her. My father didn’t just give her name to me, and he also gave me her character.  
My name is Esma, and its meaning includes all beautiful names' meanings because the word in Turkish means good names not just a name. Imagine a forest, and every forest has many kinds of tree. My name is like a forest because it has many kinds of meanings. If you say another good name instead Esma, you don’t make a mistake. However, I prefer to be called Esma.  
Saying Esma to me makes me special because in Turkey there are a few people that have this name. It is not a Turkish name. It is an Arabic name because Arabic was used in Turkey many years ago. Turkish people believe that people’s names affect their characters, and I also believe it. My grandfather usually says that my character is like his sister’s character. She was brave, determined, and successful, and I also have these properties.  
In conclusion, I am happy to have this name because I don’t have just Esma.  I have all beautiful names. This situation makes me special because I also live with her character.

    Hi Esma, I really really like your name because it is so beautiful like you said. Your aunt reminds me of my sister who died inside my mom's belly so I didn't even get to see her. Have a great day.

    Hello Esma. After reading your article, I think you have an unusual and interesting name. On the other hand, I am curious to know what each name means, although in my culture or in my family it is not very common to put a name for what that means. Usually in my family, they give us the name because our parents like it.

Do  you like your name? Name is a different love from parents, it always include parents’ hope and best wishes to their child. Especially, there is a special science to get a name in China.

He thought I was a gift for him and my mother, and at that t...
