After I had finished balling my eyes out, I smiled at the weight lifted off my shoulders. Staring back at my friend through a computer screen, she asked me what i would want to be called. I sat and thought of all the possible names that I knew.
“You know that you can look on google to find a name right…?” I laughed at her sarcasm, agreeing with her. I took to google and searched “Names for boys”. After thirty minutes of being unsatisfied with the ones I found, I stumbled upon the name james.
“Hey, what do you think of the name james? I really like it.” she shook her head telling me that it really didn’t suit me.
“What about tyler?” she asked
“I don't really like it” i protested
We went back and forth on the two names.
In one of the many times we stated it, it started to get mixed up and instead of being James Tyler it was all of the sudden Tyler James. I immediately loved the sound of it and told her to shut up.
“What if I went with Tyler James?” she nodded her head rapidly. As I repeated it, I pieced a missing puzzle piece to the grand picture of my life. In that moment, being Tyler James Vivas felt better than anything i had ever experienced.
That is how I came to be!! In my next post we will discuss a good way to choose names and good websites to use for inspiration! Till next time, stay royal my kings…
