Disadvantages and Advantages of my Name

My names is Gerrit Norris and I am going to write about my name and its advantages and disadvantages. The first and only advantage is that it carries a family tradition of having your son or grandson named Gerrit. The main disadvantage of my name is that it is foreign, so it is pronounced really weird. It is pronounced with a heavy "h" when said in Dutch. It is pronounced "Herrit" with flem on the "h." This name originated from Holland, so I understand why it is odd. Even though my names is odd, I still like it, and I will probably not change it.

  1. Good details in your explanation of your name, Gerrit! I was impressed by your use of ommas. Try to go back and make your "i"s into capital "I"s.
