I am 47 years old and all of my life I've had to deal with people calling me all kinds of names, but my own.... For example, my name is pronounced "C O Mara"....but, I get called "See you tomorrow" or "Sickum Sira" or " X", just to name a few. When I say my name to others, I get strange looks, or some people say " That's a weird name"; of course those folks could have kept that comment to themselves. Others say that my name is beautiful and unique. My mother named me after a spanish singer, Xiomara Alfaro. My brother liked my name so much, he named his daughter Xiomara...Bottom line is, I love my name and even if no one else does, I believe that it is an unique and strong name. I was told, but have not verified it to this day, that my name comes from Mayan Indians in Guatemala and it means " Indian Princess", now that's got to mean something!!
