A Work In Progress

I have had a lot of reactions to my name. Most of the time it's the same one, "wait, Kasper isn't your nickname! It's your real name?" I know it might be hard to believe but yes, it is in fact my legal name given to me at birth. For the longest time I didn't know there was anything different about my name or maybe I should say special.

Yesterday when I was opening the pool I had a woman give me response to the fact that my name was Kasper that I had never heard before.

Upon her hearing someone say my name,

Veronica: Oh my gosh, they call you that?!

Me: Yea, well it's my name.

V: That's your real name?

M: (I thought to myself, "No, it's my fake name, an alias.") Yup, it's really my name.

V: Woooooow, your parents must have a great personality.

M: (nervous laughter) haha, yea, I guess.


I couldn't help but think to myself, did she mean to say, "wow, your parents have a good sense of humor." As if naming your child Kasper is a big funny joke. I wanted to say, "Yea, well if you think my name is interesting you should hear what they named by my twin sister!"

Needless to say I love my name, almost as much as I love myself. haha
