A Big fight 

    When couples realize that they will be known as fathers and mothers, the first thing that they think about is what is the best name for their children.My official name is Reihaneh. However, everyone calls me Rojin.Rojin means sunrise in the Kurdish language. For this reason, I like my name. It's pretty artistic, and I don't want to change It. When my mother wanted to get my ID, my grandmother was not happy. She said that no, you must call her Reihaneh.Reihaneh is an Arabic name for girls. Reihaneh is a beautiful name, but it was not for me.My mother worked really hard, and she had a lot of arguments with her mother-in-law about choosing the name for me. unfortunately, my grandmother got her goal. But my mother introduced me to everyone with Rojin. The funniest thing about this difference in my name belongs to when I went to school for the first time. When we went to school, I didn't know that my name was Reihaneh, and after searching in my school office, I found out that my real name was Reihaneh in my ID.

 Almost everyone knows me as Rojin, however in administrative affairs, I am known as the don't forget that I’m Rojin, I’m Hope, and I’m Sunrise.

  1. Hi Rojin! In my country some names have a full and short version too. I also see many arguments in your family about choosing name. Overall, I am happy that your mother chose a really suitable name for you.

  2. Rojin, what a story! I can't believe your official name it's not Rojin. Thankfully your mother choose to keep calling and presenting you this way. You have a beautiful name with such a interesting meaning.
