My
Father's
Gift:
A
Name
that
Defines
Me When
I
was
born,
my
father
had
one
special
request:
that
he
be
the
one
to
name
me.
He
didn't
want
to
choose
a
traditional
name,
nor
follow
trends
that
were
popular
at
the
time.
Instead,
he
wanted
to
give
me
something
unique,
something
that
would
define
me
for
the
rest
of
my
life.
So,
he
turned
to
his
love
of
travel
and
foreign
cultures
for
inspiration. Growing
up,
I
always
appreciated
the
story
behind
my
name.
My
father
named
me
after
a
small
town
he
had
visited
in
France,
called
"Annecy."
He
told
me
about
the
beauty
of
the
town,
with
its
charming
canal
and
stunning
Lake
Annecy,
and
how
it
had
captured
his
heart.
He
wanted
me
to
bear
a
name
that
represented
adventure,
beauty,
and
uniqueness. As
I
got
older,
I
started
to
realize
how
much
the
name
"Annecy"
represented
who
I
was.
It
was
not
like
any
other
name
out
there,
and
it
was
a
constant
reminder
of
my
father's
love
for
me.
It
made
me
stand
out,
and
it
sparked
conversation
whenever
I
introduced
myself. But
the
name
was
more
than
just
a
conversation
starter.
It
spoke
to
my
identity
and
my
personal
journey.
Over
the
years,
I
have
come
to
value
travel
and
experiences,
just
like
my
father
did.
My
name
reminds
me
to
always
seek
out
new
adventures
and
to
appreciate
the
beauty
of
life,
wherever
I
may
be. In
a
world
where
names
are
often
chosen
for
their
popularity,
my
father's
gift
of
a
unique
name
stands
out.
It
is
a
testament
to
his
creativity,

adventurousness,
and
his
love
for
me.
And
though
I
may
never
visit
the
town
of
Annecy,
I
carry
its
spirit
with
me
wherever
I
go. In
short,
my
father's
gift
of
a
name
has
defined
me
in
ways
I
could
never
have
imagined.
It
has
given
me
a
sense
of
identity,
of
adventure,
and
of
the
love
that
my
father
has
for
me.
And
for
that,
I
am
forever
grateful.
