My Name

My name is Mico Kelli Summerford. My mom got my name from a hit show called “young and the restless”. Her favorite character on the show was a doctor named Nikko Kelly. I never watch the show so I do not know why she loved him so much but that was her favorite person on the show. She try to put a twist on the name by changing the spelling of my name. I have not met too many people name Mico unless it spelled different. I have seen people spell my name two different ways Miko or Meko. I have never met another Mico with the same spelling. I love the fact that my first name has a unique spelling. When I think of mico I think of a brave, loyal, strong and wise person. I would never change it but I wish she would have change my middle name.

 My middle name, Kelli I do not care for. I never liked the name Kelli, it never fit my personality. When I think of Kelli I always thought of the Kelly doll and that is not me. I was never a dressy, make-up, skinny doll. I hate the way it is even pronounce. When I think of my middle name I think it represents the things I do not like about myself.

 My last name Summerford reminds me of how strong my family is.  My last name has open up the gates to my family history. My great great grandfather was a slave, Summerford was the name given to my great great grandfather from his master. My last name is a slave name. Summerford reminds me that my family can overcome anything.

If I had the choice to change my name I would only change my middle name. My first name is different and unique I like that about my first name. Mico expresses bravery, fun, and outgoing. I love the fact that my name has a story behind it but I would love to change my middle name. I would love for my middle name to be Renee. Renee is a family middle name. My aunt, my mother, my older sister, and my grandmother all have the middle name Renee. My last name I will never change I love the history behind my last name.
