Xavia Zair. To me that is my name. Some people ask me where did the name Zair come from, why did I choose it. It's not my birth name so I use it as an add on for now. The problem with birth names is everyone in your family usually has the same one, some people say that is what unites the family, the same last name. That's not how I think. In my family me and my sister and my dad have the same last name and my dads dad (ext). The problem there is I don't even know my dads dad, I don't think. So really, my last name seems kind of pointless to me. That is one of the reasons I added Zair. I didn't exactly choose Zair though, the forest helped me with that. Let me explain, where I live there's woods surrounding my house. Now ever since about three months ago the woods have been calling me. It's weird though because they always called me Xavia Zair, so even after that I still hadn't decided I wanted to add Zair to my name. I started writing a movie script about elves and dwarfs, and I was looking at elven names and came across Zair, then I had remembered how the forrest always called me that. That is when I decided to add Zair to my name. So if I ever tell you I choose my last name myself, I did have some help.
