In this episode of Threads & Bones, I’m taking you along for another “I Dibs The Front Seat” ride as I free-flow on the creativity behind names and nicknames. From naming a child to choosing a name that truly reflects who we are, names hold power, identity, and can offer us a chance for deep creative expression. I share my own journey with names, both given and chosen. From childhood teasing to spirit-given names, let’s explore the creative magic of what we call ourselves.
📌Show Notes:
Naming someone is a creative act. whether it’s a baby or yourself, it’s about love as well as identity.
My personal experience when my child changed their name - and what I learned from it.
The evolution of my own names and nicknames (I’ve been Becca Boots, Rabs, and now… Bec!).
Nicknames can be playful, weird, or downright powerful (for better or worse).
A name isn’t forever - how changing your name can be a way to express your true self.
Why it’s okay to play with names and embrace the creativity in how we present different sides of ourselves. Go ahead - reinvent yourself!
