This is incredible and really emphasises the fact that you don't choose a name, it chooses you. I bet you're a really special kid to go with that really special name XD

Daww!
I bet your name is beautiful.
(Is it 'Sol', by any chance?)
I actually quite like my name. It's Irish - and there was some Irish warrior queen who had it.
I'm lucky to have a name that's not common (well, it's not UNcommon in Ireland) and not completely unheard of. But I think unique names just show how special you are.

Wow! This poem is really cool. It reminds me of a friend I have who has a really unsual name . it's a really interesting thing to get your teeth into and overall a very good piece of work. It flowed really well and I especially loved the beginning. Well done!
Keep Writing,

Hai there!
I really liked your poem. It was very well written and I loved loved loved the idea. It flowed very well and it kept my attention throught the whole thing. I don't really have anything bad to point out. Great job and keep writing!

I really like this poem because when a child is christened such a unique name, they may think that it defines them because of the harsh nicknames they have had to endure. But as they mature they learn of the significance of their name, they begin to realize that it is not the name that defines them, but they define their own name. Great poem!!

Great poem! I really understand how the character feels. People say that my name is weird and strage too. I would always ask my mom- "why didn't you name me something normal" and she told that the meaning behind my name was the reason why. After that, I realized i didn't want to change my name anymore. Anyway, Amazing Poem!

The teacher said the list of names outloud,but mine was never mentioned twice.
Here I felt a sudden lack of rhyming. But then after reading the next portion, it worked out well.

I loved the rhyming and the meaning. After the above statement, I got so carried away with the words, I couldn't give a helpful review.
Now I know why it was featured for so long once upon a time, I didn't read it then though.

Hi GeeLyria!

First of all, VERY CUTE AVVIE! <3
Hehe

Your poem, so-called "I Wanted To Change My Name." , is the most amazing poem I have EVER read! ^.^ No kidding.
I know, I am a little late to see this, but your title was really catchy. :O

And this poem shows two things and I'm really proud that it's conveyed really beautifully. :') They are:

1) Love of your mother
2) Importance of your name. They're not just letters. They have a meaning.

I'm going to tell all of my friends to read this poem. I just loved it like anything in the world. Apart from God, Parents and Siblings (Including Friends). I think your poem is the best! xD

Though this stanza, I was confused. A little.

I wanted to change my name,
And I wanted to cross it out.
"It's strange and rare." They laughed.
It was now blemished with their derides.

"It's strange and rare." They laughed.
This line, I first thought, they teased you because it was rare or were you happy about it?

Just asking. But don't change anything, please. It's just TOO good. <33333

Overall: Outstanding. ;D

Cheers,
Cookie. <3

P.S.: I think some parts of your poem are Present Tense & some are Past Tense.

Gee, you forgot to tell me about this poem. It is absolutely astonishing.

I can't believe it took me almost two months to read this. I literally stumbled on it by accident. I noticed it had been made by you, so I took a peak inside. I have to agree with all these comments. This is amazing. It is easily one of the best poems I have ever read.

Ever.

I've read plenty of good poems in my time, and this is easily in my top 10 of all time. All the words are lovely. The structure is bliss. I especially loved the parts in italic for empathisis. It felt liek you were talking to me in conversation, so it gave it a much more personal edge. It had very nice vocabulary as well. Simple, but complex. Unapologetic, yet layered in regret. It is a contradiction, a changing-my-mind-every-minute type of poem.

"It's strange and rare" they laughed. It doesn't get truer than that do describe this poem. Well done. A blinder.

WOW. Thank you, people! <33333333333333333333333
