One of the most importantthings that has happened to me occurred long before I was aware of it. As thestory goes, I was three days old and Mom was singing “The Name Ga
me”song to me:
“Christine-Bo-Bean-Banana-Fanna-Fo-Feen.” By day four, I was given anew name — Christine-Bo-Bean, or just Bo-Bean to my mother. Now, I am Bo to herand clo friends.
Why is this nickname soimportant to me? I once read a book with a passage about True Names whichexplains that when a person’s true name is spoken, she has a distinct aura around her. Although I have been Bo to my mother all my life, Irecently discovered that my true name is not on my birth certificate; it’s thename that is as unique and memorable as I am.
People usually know me asChristine. They still e me as a quiet, bookish child. They don’t know who Iam now. My most recent hopes, fears, goals, dreams and opinions escape theirnotice; it is easier to think of me as I was. In their minds, they have a boxlabeled “Christine” in which I fit neatly, andas Christine, I was content with the perfect packaging.
Tho who call me Bo orBo-Bean really know me. They remember who I was and realize I have changed. Bois a tight squeeze in the old “Christine” boxes. The Bo I am iver-changing, ever-growing and ever-learning.
When I was Christine, I wasquiet, and easily scared. I feared groups, meeting new people and sharing myopinions. I was more comfortable with a book than my best friend. As Christine,I thought everyone was better than I was.
As Bo, I still love mybooks, but I want to discuss them. As Bo, my dream is to live where I canexperience new things and meet new people. I dream about being alone on a stagelit by a single spotlight; I have that confidence now. I am
equal to tho Ionce saw as better than me.
A name shouldn’t m ake sucha difference, but sometimes, when a person finds his or her True Name, theydevelop a new shine visible to friends, family and especially themlves.
I can’t always be Bo.Sometimes exposing mylf is still scary and I feel too nervous; I wa
nt to hidein tho old boxes. Mostly, however, I am ready for the world. So, just call meBo.
