The meaning of my beautiful name

(Tri Okta Ervina) 

There are so many people live and do activities in this world. It is so difficult if you want to call somebody just use the word”hey”. Maybe all of people will turn round to you or nobody accept your calling. To make it easy, of course, we need a name to differentiate someone with somebody else. Although usually we find the same name but it is not a big problem because all the people do not use the same name. Some of parents give their children a beautiful name; they hope their children will be as beautiful as their name, not only beautiful but also rich of meaning.

My parents also do not forget to give me a beautiful name with some meaning inside of it. My complete name is TRI OKTA ERVINA. I am the last child from my parents. I feel so happy and lucky because all of my family love and care with me. Because of they are so worry about me; they often treat me as a little girl. When I wanted to go to somewhere, I had to be accompanied by someone. It made me stress. Recently, I knew it. This one is part of humanistic studies. Hehehhehehehehhee…..

And now, I will explain my beautiful name which is given by my father. TRI is my first name; it was taken from Javanese number which the meaning is number three. Yeach, I am the third child from my father. In the middle of my name is OKTA, it came from October, the month which I was born. And the last is ERVINA; this part is the interesting one that I really like. It was my father’s identity to give all his children’s name, he always use ER for making “cool” in his children’s name. As like my older sister, in the end of her name is ERNANTIKA.

My name is so beautiful and useful for me. I do love it. I proud of my own name, so that’s way I do not want to change my name although I could change it. But, if possible to add something in my name, I want to add JUWITA in my first name. I ever told to my father while joking, I said “Why don’t you give me JUWITA in my first name? It can represent your name and my mom. And it looks like suitable with my sister’s first name.” I protest.

My father answered with laughing. Actually it has been thought by him before I born. He did not want to give that name to me because it was so easy to guess that it was taken by my father and my mother’s name. So, he did not want to put it in my first name. Beside that, I also have a kid name, when I was child my neighbor called me “PIPIN”. Maybe because of father called me ERVIN so all of my neighbors followed call me PIPIN, it came from “ERVIN” but they are difficult to say it clearly, so they just call me PIPIN.
