NAMED

Celine was forty days old when her mother had carried her to the church and a priest named her.

She grew up to be a beautiful girl but she hated that name. She told her mother always that her name, Celine, was old school and she should have been named with a cool name like those famous teen stars.

I didn’t know that she had applied for a change of name.

She came to me and said that her name is now Rianne. She told me to erase that stupid, old name of hers from my memory.

But I couldn’t do it....
