That's not my NAME

For God's sake !! For Heaven's sake !! Please pronounce my name properly,It is not my fault,My dad didn't pick my name (but he did agree !!) neither my mother !! a nurse is the one who commited this unforgivable crime..yeah the nurse picked this name for me !!!

My name is AshwaQ,not AshwaG !!! My name is AshwaQ not AshwaK and please never try to give me shosho as a nickname..it is too lame and I will hate you immediatly !! call me ashwa' I will accept it too

My mum wanted to name me Leen,my dad wanted his mother's name (my grandma) which is Sameeha !! (Imagine my name is Sameeha oh la laaaaa),they both didn't pick a name for me till the 2nd day after my birht,dad headed to the hospital to finish some procedures,and when someone asked him : oh what did you name your daughter?? my dad replied he is puzzled,a nurse came by and offered ASHWAQ as a name !! my dad liked it (as he says) and returned back home to surprise my mum with the name !!! till this moment I have no idea if my mum is still ok with my name or not !!!

When my mum told me this incident for the very first time,I got angry,I said why didn't you insist on Leen,you always insist on EVERYTHING..just why on earth didn't you pick an easier name,at least a modern one for me !! WHY ME !!

ps: I don't hate my name !!

Ashwaq is quiet a difficult name,my nieces and nephew couldn't call me ASHWAQ till they got 2 and half years old !! HOWEVER people don't forget my name easily !!
