It’s you who made it so impressive, Reena.

A poetic of your naming and how you live with it. I find names both fascinating and revealing. I like your R- rebels and while you’ve said your stuck with it, your writing shows you have made a name and meaning.

Reena, I love the story of how you came to be called Reena. I also love your decorative graphic of your name. That’s a neat effect. Looks like satin embroidered pillows.

What does Reena mean in your language? Sorry, I’m ignorant of your customs and traditions. Please forgive me.

My problem is that it has no specific meaning. It is just a sound 😂

I find it quite heartwarming to be named by your 6-year-old cousin. It’s such a sweet and endearing gesture that adds a delightful touch to the poem.

Very interesting Reena. Amazing that your parents agreed with your little brother when naming you. It is very permanent for sure!

I find it better than priest-generated (Raashi) names which don’t stick for long 😊

A lovely tale Reena and I have always wondered about Saxeena too?

There are rumors that Saxena s are Indian descendants of Anglo-Saxons. But it is likely to be pure hogwash 😊
