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 you, 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!
