What's in a Name Part Four?

If I were Native American, my name would be
Little Raindrop.
I'm short and I love the rain.
If I were Latina, my name would be
Natalia.
Actually, as it is, my name almost was Natalia. That's what JerBear wanted, but my familiy protested saying that they wouldn't know how to pronounce it so I became Natalie.
Another side note: Natalie means Nativity and I just happened to be born on April 7th, the day after Christ's real birthday. I think that's pretty cool!

And if I were Chinese, or say, learning Chinese at a camp for two weeks then my name would be

Lui Na Li!!!

That's right folks, for the next two weeks I am no longer Natalie Lewis, I am Lui Na Li!

Pretty snazzy eh?


(Don't ask me what this means, because I don't know.)

In other news:
Chinese is possibly the hardest language ever and it is definately the hardest thing I have ever attempted to learn. Two days in and I can already feel my head spinning!!!
Everyone have a great week!!!

Oh I feel ya my dear. Well not really, I just studied Japanese which is marginally easier. Not only do you have to learn four new secret code alphabets, but they phrase their sentences backwards and have whole parts of speech that don't exist in English. BAH! but the people are so nice!
