I do like my name in mother tongue but it is too hard for foreigners to pronounce correctly so I have to get an English name. With me, the name is something that stuck forever; it will affect my first impression for the rest of my life. Therefore, when I have a chance to get a name by my own, I want it to be composed of my characteristics, my desire and my perception. In other words, this is where I can express my creativity and distinction.

"Amelia" reads closely like "immediately". And when you simply search "What does Amelia mean?" on Google, you will get the word "work".

Amelia likes things to be done as fast as possible. She is deeply in love with hustle and bustle. The pressure of racing against time makes her heart beat faster and more intensely. Five more minutes. Two more minutes. Sometimes her heart is likely to explode but it makes her feel alive, just like an addiction, a workaholic. And procrastination is not her way of getting everything done, the engine must work restlessly to provide the energy for the headquarter. The more she devotes, the broaden viewpoints she gets, and more creative as well.

"Amelia" can be shortened to "Ame". In Japanese, Ame means rain. And when you add "-chan" as a suffix in conversation for a little girl, you will get "Amechan". Amechan in local language is candy.

So Amelia is not a robot who does not give a damn about emotion. Amelia can be sensitive like the rain, and sweet as a candy. But not in a cheesy way obviously. It is the rain in summer: fresh, cool, and quench the burn of the sun. It is also the sweet that is gonna brighten your mood and soften the bitterness spreading in your soul. A candy, but not fragile. she can be tough and gentle at the same time, like sour candy. I'm sour candy, so sweet, then I get a little angry.

So I am either a workaholic or a poet. I have a beautiful name in Vietnamese and one English name that has four different meanings in three languages. You can call me /əˈmiːli.ə/ or /əˈmeili.ə/, it is all right. My name represents my ego, traits of personality and my depth of soul. Playing with words is my unique way to escape the ordinary.
