1 Practice | My name is...Ethel

And I guess I didn't. I related it to being very old. And when I was a teenager, of course, I didn't want to be old like that. And so I've lived with this name, but I always wanted my name to be much. I don't know, a prettier name to me would have been like Clarissa or can't think of others

I love. I think the name Ethel has such a nostalgia to it for certain people but I really respect your candor about it and how it didn't fit right for you. I have a friend who has a complicated name and when she goes to Starbucks she always chooses a different name just to hear how it sounds and how she responds to it. So it's almost like Heather is your Starbucks name. Anyway, welcome to swell. Thanks so much for this
