Real Name

What is your real name? You have been called so many
For every time it's been done I wish you recieved a penny
For then you would be the richest girl alive
More names you would be called yet the more you would thrive
Names usually start with a base of jealousy
If only people knew how wrong they can be
Sometimes names are hurtful and painfully crude
Other times they are used nicely or just to be rude
When you were born you were given a name 
Forever you have it it's always the same
I guess you should use it and assume it's yours
for the time being until your called more.
