What’s in a name? National Name Yourself Day April 9th. To celebrate, you are allowed to give yourself a new name for a day. If you have ever wondered what it would be like to have a different name, this would be the day to find out.  If you like your name and don’t want to change it, you can try a nickname instead. You could get stuck with the nickname  -lol. It’s also a day for parents to see what their kids think about the name they were given. Do you know what thoughts went in to naming you? What name would you prefer to have?
