My Name



My name is Gloria Alexandra Sofia Maldonado. Long right? Well this name has alot of meaning to me and where I come from. My first name Gloria, sounds more beautiful than the sea, it means "glory." A beatiful definition for a beatiful name. This was passed down to me from my grandma, so it's special. My first middle name, Alexandra(Alex), means "protector of men." Kinda reminds me of a knight. Dun da dun. My family call me by this name they shorten it to Alex, Ally, and Al. This makes this name very special as well. My second middle name, Sofia, means "wise." to be honest, nobody ever calls me by this name unless I get in trouble for not being wise. My last name, Maldonado, sounds cool right? Must have an awesome meaning right? WRONG! Maldonado means "an ugly or stupid person or ill-favored." Although I was a little upset this name is very special because it tells me I come from a great family, it gives me an identity. These are reasons why I love my names and I will never give them up. Not for anything.

  9. Very nice. It was kinda funny when it said a stupid or ugly person. But the meanings of the other 3 names are what shape you.

  10. I like how you stated every meaning in your unique name. Names are way more than an identity.
