yankee

The word is a derogatory term used to describe Americans by the Brits, Canadians, Australians and the like; but in the USA used to define an American from the Northern States in the USA, such as New England and the Mid-West.

It was most notably used to describe to the Federal Solders and other Northerners by the Confederates during the Civil War Era. Even though some foreigner’s refer to all American’s as Yankees, does not make it so. Call a Southerner a Yankee and he’ll think you’re either just plain dumb or that you are trying to pick a fight.

The characteristics often associated with a stereotypical Yankee are shrewdness, thrift, craftiness, rudeness, arrogance, and loudness.

Name

A name is a label used to identify a person, place, or thing. It can be given to you by someone else or one you've chosen for yourself.

In the case of people, your name is one of the most important things your have both in terms of reputation and how you feel about yourself.

If you are going though life with a name you can’t stand, you should change it to something you like. The bottom line is, it’s your name and you have to live with it, other people don’t.
