The Name Project: Sarah Pauline
This is my post for The Name Project
. I know I said I'd give my own post after I give out the first prize, but I changed my mind. Hehehe.
My name is Sarah Pauline. Let's dissect it, shall we?
The meanings
The Hebrew word Sarah is sometimes translated as "goddess", or "high holy one". In the Bible, Sarah is the beautiful wife of Abraham. Her original name is Sarai, which means "princess". Later, though, God changed her name to Sarah, which means "princess of all".
My second name, Pauline is the female form of Paul, derived from the Roman name that means "small" or "humble". In the Bible, Paul is an apostle who preached to the Gentiles.
Ayt. Enough of world history.
Why they named me so
There are four children in our family. My three older brothers and me. I'm the youngest and I'm also the only girl. Thus, I am my parents' "little princess". Thus, I am "Sarah Pauline".
Aside from the "little" and "princess" meanings of my name, there are also other reasons for my parents' choice. I was born about 11 months and something-something days after my older brother, whose name is Jules Timothy Paul. I look a LOT like him, moreso than my other brothers. I look so much like him, it seemed like we were twins. That's another reason they called me "Pauline". The female version of "Paul".
What they call me
I have been called "Sarah", "Pauline", and even "Cada" by the different groups of people in my life. Close friends call me Sâ for short, though. I have another nickname at home: Dnx. It's from my original nickname Dinky, which, most English-speaking people would know to be slang for "small" or "tiny". My godmother named me that. Hehe.
If asked what I want to be called, I'd say "Sarah" or "Sâ".
So yey. I think that's it for my name's story. Little princess, signing out. ^_^
