My Name Is Hank -Hank Tramel
My name is Hank Alan Tramel. Hank means, "Ruler of the home." Alan means, "The Handsome one." Tramel means, . . . Well it must mean someone fucked up because something went wrong with the first two.
Hank. H-A-N-K. Kind of a choppy name, doesn't really roll off the tongue. It really makes me wonder why I got that name as a child. Did I look like a Hank when I was only 5 and a half pounds, covered in blood and crying like the newborn baby I was? Or did my mother know that I was going to be this 5'6" 180lbs heart-broken loner kid that I am now? Guess I'll never know, considering every time I ask her she says be happy you weren't named bob, which I guess I am.
A friend of mine once said she believes people grow into their names. If that’s true, I'm never naming my kids after them. They'll all be whores. I guess I'm happy with my name. Not like I'll get the chance to be someone else anyway, but I don't mind. It's been fun with Hank, so I think I'll keep it that way.
