My second baby was born this morning. She was so beautiful like her mother. I thought that I have to buy many things for her, like a small bike, cute clothes and a pair of shoes. I imagined that she would be very happy when she knew what I wanted to present for my beloved baby. When I got back from work, I dropped in one of the best shop in my little town. It’s a “Baby’s Frog Shop”. Well, I thought I would spend a lot of money for this!
My salary would be gone! But it’s okay ... I did this for my only beloved baby!
I guessed she would be happy for what I brought now. I told my wife to show all the gifts to my baby and she said “Dad, You haven’t given me “a name” yet. What I’m waiting for right now is only one name!, one beautiful name I’m dreaming of!”. I don’t need your gift. I’m sorry for this. I just need a name which will make me comportable and happy”.
I shut my mouth for an hour and didn’t move to another chairs beside my wife like I always did when someone said rudely like that to me!. But she was my daughter. My only daughter that I belonged. My beloved baby ....
Then I said “Alright, my dear ... Let me please find the best and the most beautiful name for you ... but please give me some time to think of it, would you, my dear?”
She said calmly, “It’s OK, daddy”. Then I exhaled. “well, thanks then.”
Then I stood and backed to the kitchen to find something to eat. But it was nothing there. I straightly went out and sang ‘tho the song I didn’t remember enough the lyric. I continued singing. Suddenly I found that name!. Yeah I found it at last! I would name her “Cindy Frog”.... “I got it! I got it! “, my mind said.
I rushed into her room quickly then told to my wife that I had found a beautiful name for our cute baby. That was ..... CINDY FROG. My wife nodded and agreed my best and expensive invention!!!.
But when I submitted the name to my little and pretty baby, she said “WHAT?” “Cindy Frog?!?!”. Why not, my dear?, why not?
“I realized that I am a real frog, dad!. Could you find another without ‘FROG’ in my name?”.
Well, I thought that my baby is not the same as another. It was because he didn’t want to use FROG inside her name. “But don’t you know something? “ there’s a linda frog, mulia frog, michell frog, jeniffer frog and .... david ....”.
“STOP!!!!!!” Don’t say that again!”, my baby said. “I hate it! I hate it!”.
Well, it was so hard to give one name to her... or ... shakespeare might be wrong that a name was needed and important for ones. Not only for my baby, maybe, but also for another. Oh god! I complained.
A name had a meaning that described something important in one’s life. What about now? Should I change her name with no FROG inside her name? I don’t know. “What a bad day it was .... “ I grumbled.
