What's in a name? Since the beginning of time, children have been given names in the hopes that they can live up to them. A good name has been believed to confer a blessing towards the child.
But nowadays, you find a girl named "Bontle" who wouldn't make it past the auditions in a beauty pageant or a boy named "Innocent" who has seen the bars of a prison from the wrong side too many times.
It is not often that you get people who live up to their names. And from the dictionary definition extract, you start to think that there isn't anybody in the world today who can live up to the name "Precious" right? Wrong! I have had the pleasure of knowing one.
A girl who makes every moment her moment,a Precious moment.
A girl who takes her time as her name suggests: Precious.
A girl who appreciates each breath as a Precious gift from God.
A girl who is so Precious, I could write about her all day if only her name didn't tell you everything about her already.
