What's In a Name

Some people say the meaning of my name is Good citizen
and some say it means Good daughter but there is a pitiful
story behind my name,I have been mistaken for a boy
because of my rare name,since my childhood and I often try
to elucidate the meaning to my new friends who wrongly
pronounce my name;It is a genderless name actually

My dearest, Supraja, even if they found another name for "Diamond" would it alter the qualities and value of it? What matters is what you are and what you are is marvelous!

Interesting ... nicely written ... is it not 'Suprajaa' in pronunciation? ... In that case it is a Sanskrit word ...
