What's in a name?

It is almost broad daylight and the morning mist has cleared the surrounding mountains. The golden sun rays spill warmly into the courtyard where some crows and sparrows peck at the leftover food left from Aqua’s platter. My sister claims that she named Aqua prior to the pop group’s emergence into the music world. Of course, Ganeola has no inkling to Aqua’s famous lineage. He cannot even pronounce the name and hence has modified it to Aku. There’s only one problem with Aku. It stands for uncle. One cannot possibly call a four legged canine uncle? Especially as Akus frequently popped into the house.The dilemma still stands. Aqua alias Aku still gets fed and pampered and at the moment is basking beneath the golden glow of the morning sun.Ganeola-a funny name once again! It means earthworm. He doesn’t care to remember his childhood name and answers only to ganeola. There is nothing wrong with him. He doesn’t even resemble an earthworm. Stout almost to the point of being potbellied, he claims he was so named because of his ability to wriggle out of complicated situations unharmed. The last bit, he says with a sense of pride. After all, how many people can come out of two marriages, a complicated police case unharmed and unscathed? I would call it selfish and deceptive. But some things are better left unsaid in these parts, so he never knows my opinion still date.
