What’s in a Name?

A Poem

What’s in a Name?

Don’t worry

You’re not to blame

For I have gone by many a name

Three last names

Just my first

Just my last

Sometimes a man, sometimes a woman

Depends on how I’m cast

Usernames, gamer tags, pseudonyms, nicknames, and call signs

They’re all mine

I don’t care what I’m called

There’s no more to a name than we let there be

For you see

We have existed before under many others

And there’s many more to come
