When I was in school I never loved my name “Aparna”, as everyone, used to tease me “Appu” as my pet name which I hated.
As I was bit fat, I used to dislike it when my schoolmates used to call me Appu.
I disliked my name because it didn’t have any meaning (according to me).
So one day, after having a bad day at school, I stormed in my house and asked my parents “What made you select my name as Aparna? Didn’t you get any other name? I hate my name…” And I started crying.
Papa came near me, hugged me and said “Why do you hate your name? It’s another name for Goddess Parvati, Lord Shiva’s wife.”
But still I was never happy with my name, till I got married. As a custom after marriage, a girl’s name is changed. Some prefer to make the change official or keep it as a pet name in husband’s house.
Well I decided to keep my 1st name same and changed only surname. But it was always a relief whenever I heard someone calling me by my childhood name “Aparna” and not “Rachna” my name after marriage.
Even now my friends keep calling me by various names like Appu, Aps etc… but still I love it when someone calls me “Aparna”.
On searching the net finally I came to know that Aparna means A= no, parna = leaf, or leafless. Though I still don’t know what it means, but I LOVE my name Aparna.
