Native American

The two names I picked were Moema (sweet) and Adsila (blossom). I picked Moema because it means sweet, and I'am an easy person to get along with and I feel like I am a sweet person and I don't really like to be rude to people. One of my favorite quotes is "Treat others the way you want to be treated". You can't expect someone to respect you if you don't respect them. Adsila means blossom and a deeper meaning to this is that a person likes to inspire other people and give them advice's that could help them through life. I believe this two names go together because you have to be sweet to be able to inspire people. If you are rude to people and than you try to give them advice they won't listen to you.
