My Name Is...Levi, Like the jeans

My name is Levi. Although there is not much reasoning behind my name, considering it was born from random thought; it still has a great meaning behind it. The meaning of my name is "join." My name is of Hebrew origin, and is also shown in the bible as the lengthened version Leviticus. I am happy i am a Levi, not a John or Tom, or even a Billy or Bob, because it makes me different and I don't get confused with others. I get to tell people, "No, my name isn't on the key chains or bracelets, but my name is on the back of some blue jeans and yours isn't." Levi, my name, is pronounced as "leave-eye" smashed together with a certain swiftness. Although I have a few names associated with mine as people typically misspeak and misspell, such as "levy, lev-i, and Eli", people have been getting better with my name as the popularity grows to the public. One thing I must add is how I introduce myself to avoid these mistakes, "hello, I'm Levi...like the jeans." Now that may sound goofy, but believe it or not, it really improves the memory of my name in some peoples' minds. All in all, my name is what defies me from the Johns and Daves and makes me who I am, a unique person with a unique name.

    Your jeans get a little bad after a few washes with Tide Detergent, so they're not really jeans anymore. The poem was great. I can understand your suffering with people mistaking your name. Peace

    I like how you said your name isn't on a bracelet or anything but it's on the back on blue jeans.
