Name Game

We played this game in my fiction writing class today. The first part was writing about your name factually. The second part was writing about how you felt about your name.

May is a month and it's also my last name. It's spelled M-a-y, no tricks, just simple. May is also the month of Mary, the mother of God. The May Crowning is when you put flowers on her head. Add an s to May and it sounds like the corn, but there is no s, just May like the month.
Kasey is my first name like Casey Jones or whatever but mine's with a K. K like in kangaroo, that mammal with the pouch that can kick the hell out of you while it stands on it's tail.

Kasey May, I like my name, it's simple. It sounds like a first name and people often think it is. I can't pretend to be annoyed. I like it when people get mixed up and say it together like I'm some sweet southern girl who never left the farm.


I liked the game.
