Give Your Daughters Difficult Names

Warsan Shire

Here is a favorite quote of mine relating to names, by the poet Warsan Shire.

"Give your daughters difficult names. Give your daughters names that command the full use of tongue. My name makes you want to tell me the truth. My name doesn't allow me to trust anyone that cannot pronounce it right."
