My name is Tallen which means eagle claw. It reminds me of a lone eagle soaring above the freshwater lake. Alone. The whole world to himself. My name is highlighter yellow. Odd. It’s number seven. Weird. The name is so unique that I have never met another Tallen in my life. But the name Tallen has lonely side. I am the only one. 


No one at Arrowhead has my name. It makes me feel different from all the others that have the same name. The name stands out like an albino deer in Wisconsin. Few people have it, just like how there are few albiono deer. My name is like an alien walking freely on earth with many people turning their heads. The name is on another planet.


I have no clue where my name came from or where it originated from. My parents now don’t even know why I was named Tallen and that’s the story behind it. I would like to know where my name came from or why I am named how I am. But I can’t know and that is what makes my name so rare. 


If my name was a city it wouldn’t be a big city but it would still stand out.there would be a forest around the city for miles. The city wouldn’t be like any other it would have tall buildings that are shaped in many interesting ways like floating triangles, octagons, and spirals.The name, Tallen is just different. 


 The name Tallen fits me because I’m different than others. Just how my name is not stereotypical. Some people say I’m not normal, which fits my name perfectly. If I had to change my name I wouldn’t. I like being unique and the only one. Tallen will always be my name and will always fit my odd personality.
