Always Anjali by Sheetal Sheth
4.0
Simple book that illustrates the perils of having a name that stands out. When I was a kid, I was the only Amanda/Mandy. I was born before it became a fad. When I was in middle school every other baby was named Amanda, but not Mandy. Even most of the Mandies I have met were born after the Barry Manilow song - which I endured. So surprisingly, I could never find a licence plate with my name on it - at least not until the 80s.
I often tell my students that their name is the first gift their parents gave them and that their parents gave it a lot of thought. This is usually to get them to write it on their paper - legibly so I can read it. I also have a name dictionary in the reference section where students are surprised to find out that their name has meaning.
