Byrd Brain
“Oh, for the love of God… shut up!”
Okay, I didn’t actually say
that, but I was thinking it. Trust me, if you were in the same situation, you
would be thinking the same.
My name is Byrd. It’s a
surname that has inherited a great amount of teasing from a young age but if
there’s any consolation, it’s spelled with a “Y” like the Renaissance
composer and not an “I” like the Boston Celtics basketball player or your
common flying rodent. My friends get a kick out of it and have recently begged
me to join Twitter because whenever I send a message, my followers can brag
they received a tweet from a Byrd. When trends are catching up to you,
you gotta know you’re riding the edge of something or worse – falling
off the aforementioned edge.
My tiny name insecurity has
led to me ask everyone I meet to call me by my first name, which is Aaron. Yet,
like everything else in this world, when you think you’ve got it bad, you can
rest assured that someone has it worse. I have suffered the à propos amount of
name calling but nothing - and I mean nothing - like my cousin, whom I adore
simply because of the courage she has to wake up in the morning. Why you
ask? Her first name is Robin.
Some parents don’t deserve
their children.
