I Refuse To Be 'Maxwell'* Comments

My first name was once 'Joy.' I dropped it for I liked the mystery Of my middle name. Now I tell everyone, Once I was a Joy but not any more. (so now you know the true story.) Raynette

Well done Max...and I refuse to address you as Maxwell, don't want you to come down upon my head with a silver hammer. Kenneth

I'm filled with euphoria, My full name is Gloria! Well done, Max!

I always hated my name ' Amberlee' growing up, because Amber was such a boring and common name. Then when I got older, I started going by Amberlee, since that is my full first name..then I realized it was sort of different..now, it's not so bad. I actually like the name Max, it reminds me of youth... excellent poem by the way.

That’s y I think name is never my identity. It is some where beyond, name and body…. Good poem…Max[ if u wana known by this name]..

I can relate to that sort of.....my name is an old name and I always wondered why my parents named me what they did.....good write!
