My Name's Meaning

The first thing people point out when they hear my full name is how Irish it is. To be honest, I kind of love that. Both sets of my great-grandparents were from Ireland and my family takes great pride in our heritage. My dad grew up in Savannah, Georgia, which is a city that has a large population of Irish descendants. Every year around St. Patrick's Day, my family tries to make it down to Savannah for the huge St. Patrick's Day parade, which is filled with crazy floats, green attire, red lipstick, drinks, and fun. We've been going for as long as I can remember.

Curious about what my name meant, I looked it up on many websites. I found that 'Reilly' is more common as a boy's name and is definitely Irish. The same website also mentioned something about a SoulUrge number, which is "a reflection of the inner you, your authentic self, deep beneath the surface of your outer personality". My SoulUrge number is 5 and says, "People with this name have a deep inner desire for travel and adventure, and want to set their own pace in life without being governed by tradition". I found this really fitting and true for myself and wonder if it's the same for others and their numbers. On another website, the name 'Reilly' means "courageous, valiant". I found this interesting and somewhat accurate. 

I don't think a name can define you because you would still be the same person without that specific name. However, I do think it's fascinating how a name's meaning can fit someone so well. 

Being "Two"

I think I experience being "two" when I spend time with my family and then when I'm with friends. I find it difficult at times to balance my time equally between both. Sometimes I am forced to compromise one activity with my friends in order to do an activity with my family. Although I sometimes feel torn between wanting to do my own thing with my friends and being a part of my family and doing what they want me to do, it always works out in the end.
