How about a name, huh?

"I was just thinking if I could get you a nice name!" I said with an exclamation mark at the end of the sentence while talking to my soul.

"Well, with all regards to your love and care, I do have a name." I got the reply.

"What is it?" I asked with an expression of surprise.

"Soul" was her reply.

"Bullshit! I mean no offence but this is not a name. Not a nice one at least." I looked disgusted.

"Ahhh, I don't like it too but that's what everyone calls me. You guys are so mean. You give name to yourself. You even name your dogs. What about me? I am an eternal part of you. Giving you life, and guidance, and warnings, and...oh forget it." I could feel the pain in her voice.

"I am really sorry about that. I didn't want to hurt you. I will not do the same with you. I will find a nice name for you." I said hoping to cheer her up a little.

"That's so nice of you." I felt her calmed down.

"Hmmm...Let me think...How about Dajji or DJ. Some of my friends call me with these names." I said with an excitement.

"That's your name. I can't take it. Besides, it's a male name. I am female."

"Did I hear it right? Do you guys have gender? How can a man have a female soul?" I was bit shocked.

"Well, not really but we are being referred as females in your conversations. A man is incomplete without woman that's why men have female souls." I felt she had a smile on her face.

"And women have male souls, right?" I asked. I didn't like the idea though.

"No, they too have a female soul. Their souls are also referred as females." I think her smile got bold, italics and underlined with this reply.

"Now, why do they have female souls? Aren't they incomplete without men?" Just because she is my soul and knows better than me, I will not buy this so easily.

"Women are also not complete without men but they have female souls to show women power."

"What a stupid answer." I thought. I guess she also didn't know the answer. I better let it go. After all, she is the soul and knows better than me about her community.

"OK then, a female name it will be." I said submissively. "Let me think..."

"How about Sneha!?"

"Nah...I didn't like it."

"Pooja, it’s a nice name."

"Too common"

"Priya" I suggested one more.

"Are you mad? It's too old and sucks. I need something catchy. A modern name."

"Hey, I got it...am sure you will like it. How about Tiya?" I said with a shine in my eyes.

"Hmmm...This sounds nice." I felt bit of a relief.

"So that's final. I will call you Tiya from now on. Deal?"

"Deal"

I finally named my soul. It was fun. Wanna try?
