Marhaba my friends,

I hope you are all safe & well.

At home, I have a little notebook with many, many, many names. I love names. If you are ever telling me a story involving people, I will always ask for their names.

Here is a list of names I love (in no particular oder);

Growing up with a name like Aisha (eye-ee-sha) I got teased A LOT, getting called ‘Asia’, ‘Alsa’, ‘Asha’… it goes on and on and on.
I hated my name as a child, pretending my REAL name was Lily (my middle name). But that didn’t work…
These days I love my name, I’ve only ever met one other Aisha but have met a few parents who’s child’s name is Aisha.
I’m pretty tolerant of people getting my name wrong, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t annoy me at times.

Anyway, through this journey with my name, I have become a fan of learning other people’s names. Hence, my list of names I love.

Peace, Love & Art

Aisha
