Week 7A - What's In A Name?


“From a surname which was originally derived from a place name which meant "ash tree town."” I don’t really mind my name. I’m not sure why I am named Ashton because there is no one else in my family named Ashton. The name that really seems to fit me is BAAKO because it means first born in African slang. If I could do it over and choose a new name I would choose the name DeShawn. Whenever I think of someone named DeShawn, I think of someone kinda like me. It also sounds kinda ghetto and people tend to think of me as a ghetto person, a little rough around the edges. I have been told many times that I look like the kind of person they would call DeShawn.
