Name

What is a Name? Is our name ours? The answer to the latter is yes and no. Our name is the legacy that our families give us. We have a responsibility to live up to the reputation or improve on it. When a person gives you their name that is one of the best gift they can give because in doing so they are putting all that they have worked for and everything their parents and grandparents worked in to that person's hands. I don't want to give the wrong idea I am a huge supporter of freedom. A person should be able to do as they wish, but don;t we also have to show respect for all the work that was done to put us in that position. Recently Laurence Fishburne's daughter Montana has decided to fulfill her dream of being a porn star. I am not going to deionized porn cause I really have no problem with it. all parties involved are adults doing as they please from the actors to the people who buy it. Now just because I have no eminent disdain for porn doesn't mean that it is a good thing. Would I want my daughter to be in porn absolutely not, but I also wouldn't want any of my children to be athletes. Her father is an excellent actor who has won Tonys, Emmys, and Nominated for Oscars. He worked had at his craft and put his family in a position to be well off. Now Montana Fishbure aka Chippy D comes along and associates his name, the name he worked hard to establish with porn. Fishburne is can now be located among names like Barbie Cummings, Janet Jacme, Cherry Poppens, and so many more. I don't want to put those ladies down, but an actor like him shouldn't have the name he worked so hard to create listed among them. When a father or mother gives a child their name they are entrusting that person with it. I have not always done what my parents have asked, and no a child should not be required to live up to every expectation of the parents. What I am saying is this the child should have enough respect if not for the parents then family to take precious care of a gift as special as a name. I know I am mostly focusing of Mr. Fishburne because he is a good example, but this applies to everyone famous or not. Think about this ladies would your father or if he is not around mother, grandfather, grandmother, uncle or just the person who gave you the title daughter want you sleeping around with his name attached. Guy same thing would they want you sleeping around or using women with their name. Would they want you doing drugs. A name is sometimes all that someone can give. Be careful what you do with it.
