Before this assignment I thought my name was just plain Tyler, because I thought a name was just a name. I didn't know names had meanings and reasons for it.
After searching on Behind My Name, I learned that my name means a tiler, which is a person who puts tiles on floors or on roofs.
Another interesting fact I learned was that the surname Tyler was borne by American president John Tyler in the late 1700's.
I think my name doesn't fit me because the meaning of it (tiler). I know nothing about tiles or anything, I have no idea why my parents would have given me this name.
If I could give myself a new name it would be, Lythwain, because it was a name that my adoptive dad would have named me when he adopted me, I have grown used to the name and now wish that I had the name, Lythwain.
This is the Hawkes family crest:
