As our first call for submissions, we at the metronome are interested in learning about our potential audience while also using this as an opportunity to include you and your personal stories at the beginning of this journey. We hope to continue seeing your names in the future.
Whether it’s the pitch or tone your mother uses when she calls your name, the many meanings and interpretations it carries, or the way you’ve come to find meaning through it, your name can act like a metronome. It can shape your mood when you hear it, remind you of your purpose, or bring you back to who you were as a child—even if you don’t say it explicitly.
This is a chance to be as creative and as affirming about your name as you’d like. As always, we encourage you to put your own twist on the prompt and show us what it is about your name that makes your heart tick and curates a rhythm.
