What Raymond`s say about their name

1. The best thing about the name Raymond:
   it's not a common name. The meaning of this name is very cool, the 'wise protector' and I don't know why it quite influenced my character as a person. I love to care and help people, fix something or find solutions of some troubles around.
   The worst thing about the name:
   in my childhood some of my friends sometimes refer my name to a japanesse cartoon character, Doraemon. And I'm not really happy with that, altough Doraemon is a cat robot from the future, who has a magical pocket on his belly, which filled with many futuristic, fantasy tools to help his friend.. But it doesn't mean I don't love to be helpfull person, the matter is the way from how my friend make fun from my name.. hahaha

   It's fine, at least it still have a good meaning. Because I believe, a name is the parents prayer for our live..
