My Name

My mother always wanted to give me that name, the name I bear today because when she was 18 years old she knew a little and pretty girl and her name was Emily with a “Y” because it’s the English form, my mother loved that idea. My father had almost the same idea than my mother but a little bit different because he would name me Amélie instead of Emily, I know that it’s very similar but I’m very happy today that my parent didn’t keep the idea to call me Amélie. Emily is a feminine name derived from the Roman feminine name Aemilia. The Latin name Aemilia in turn may derive from the Latin word aemulus (or from the same root as aemulus); meaning "rival" and “trick”, but this may be a folk etymology. The origin of my name in Greek means “cunning”. I find this funny because my last name is Goupil, and it means “Renard” in French or “Fox” in English but the signification of the word are not the same. So, my first and last name means almost the same thing because a fox is an animal very cunning that plays tricks on other animals and humans which made the character popular. So, the the signification on my both name describe me a lot because I like to play tricks to my friends and I’m a person with a lot of idea in my mind so don’t mess it up with me.

Does gender matter?

I think that it's not the better way to show to your kids how to live in the society. The parents don't help their kids to find their personality in that way. It's hard for a person at this age to make choice for example choose between long hair or short hair, the kid will probably answer long hair... Why ? probably because it's funnier for him but he don't really know the impact of his apparance towards the others. When people have difficulty to say if that's a boy or a girl, I guess that there're a big problem here ! Right ? Anyway... these parents don't know their action towards their son because it'll probably make a kid and adult upset in the future about his apparence or maybe his psychology about the vision of the world because all of his childhood, he grew up in world of a toss up... So he'll probably don't know who is he, how to make the best decision to follow the conformity and how to don't seem strange. Finally, I think that if you don't want to make tons of children as opposed to compliance of the society, we should dress up our kids with compliance of the standars. But when I think about it... we should not rely on the appearance !!! basically, we should not care about these thing. So, now I'm in a toss up I'm not sure if I'm agree or disagree with this. Probably for my conscience it's better if I'm agree with the fact that people can seem like they want even if they are weird ahah !!! but anyway back on topic... like the parents say approximately « the kid can choose himself » ! It's his life. So, to conclude I'm agree that we don't judge people about their appareance but I'm agree too with the fact that a boy not have to be a girl because it's a guy so the parents shouldn't change his mind. That's it !
