what's in a name...

my name: Vivian Danella Zamora
the middle name is nothing less than
crucial
half my identity lies in "Danella"
my second entity. my first life. 
just call me hannah montana. i do indeed 
have a second persona or visage if you please.

Danella~God is my judge
Vivian~full of life, 
name of the Lady of the Lake, an enchantress... cool
i'll take it!
most people wish they were named differently
i don't.

vivian is alive and exciting, danella sweet and savvy 
both together. so eloquent. 
never heard a name like it.it's like shopping for a dress in a boutique rather than target. classy and unique.
good job parents

although
vivian is my first name,most[including myself] only knew danella for my first years of life. 
why???
my parents failed to tell me of "vivian"
i got to kindergarten and my teacher called out to me.
no reply.
that's the moment i learned i was a vivian.who knew?
i sure didn't.
she, ms. awalk, barbie of a teacher, asked if i preferred
to be known as danella. naahhhhh. this proves i have always been  up to trying new things...like my first name. 
I settled.
Vivian at school. Danella at church.
my worlds quickly collided and turned into a mash up of Vanilla

Got to BYU, school integrated with church.oy. I couldn't play this game anymore.

so now i'm simply vivian to the world and danella at home with the minor close friend exceptions. 
but i never want to lose either name.
they're just so...me!
