What's In a Name?

After spending my entire 29 years without encountering anyone with my name, I've found 2 people in the past 2 days with it. This is very uncanny to me. One of the things that has always set me apart is the fact that I know NO ONE with my name. I've met people (always African) who wondered if I was African because of my name. I'm not. My parents had an African friend who offered them some names that meant princess. It can down to Ayaba and Sarwah (sp?). Let's say I'm glad I'm Ayaba. The uniqueness feels just a little tarnished somehow. The only saving grace is that I seriously doubt I will find anyone with my middle name. My mom made it up. So there!
