My Name’s Origin Story – #Blaugust

Daily writing prompt
Where did your name come from?

My full name is Anthony Leon Burgess and here is how my parents named me.

Anthony – comes from my maternal great-grandfather’s last name it was my grandmother’s maiden name too.

Leon – is my maternal grandfather’s middle name, the name he went by his whole life.

Burgess – is my last name as you can figure out.

Names can be like trademarks. I like this combination. However, everyone knows me as Tony, a nickname derived from Anthony. Tony in my mind is the greatest name for a mafia kingpin.

Describing Me

Daily writing prompt
How would you describe yourself to someone?

Physically I am like a teddy bear. You could say fluffy and pudgy. Intellectually, I hope people would think I know stuff but not in an arrogant way. Spiritually I am a person in tune with my creator and all that. Emotionally I am stable with a little looney thrown in. I tend to be quieter than in years past, but I let my freak flag fly when appropriate. My personality is one of weirdness and I am an oddball. Very much a black sheep. Mentally I am the place where I think I can deal with stuff that comes my way. I am kind, compassionate, and sensitive too. People I think aren’t so sure about me. Strange, right?

Feedback welcome.
