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 15 syllables per line Jan-16-2017 For the contest What's in a name by Silent One

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 ...
