    🌹 Creativity Prompt #3 - What's in a name?

    Elaine Elizabeth Jinto

    "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."

    This famous line from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet invites us to think about the relationship between names and the things they represent.

    For this prompt, we want you to explore the meaning behind names. It could be:

    • The story behind your own name
    • A fictional character whose name shapes their destiny
    • The etymology of words and how meanings evolve
    • A poem about identity and what we're called
