Stanley
I really like my name, Stanley.
Not really sure why. It’s just hard to imagine myself named anything else.
When I was younger, I liked my name because it wasn’t very common. I guess that made me unique in a way. I never had any classmate Stanleys up until college actually.
I also thought it gave off a vibrant tone. At least to me, I thought “Stanley” sounded lively when said out loud. Maybe it was the personality I sought. I mean, I was very shy back then, but really wanted to be more expressive.
I’ve also gone through my fair share of nicknames, some better than others. Stan the Man. Stanley the Manly. Squan. Even dabbled with Stan for a while. But I’ve always come back to good ol’ Stanley.
Having grown from everything though, I think the name Stanley has just become part of me. And because of that, it’s so hard to imagine otherwise. Anything else just wouldn’t feel right.

I liked Stan the Toucan. But Stanley’s a close second ;)
