What's your name?

My name is Syed Lahori. It is not a very common name in the United States because it is foreign. My name is rooted in the Middle East and it is spelled in many different ways with the same pronounciation. It can be spelled Sayyid, Sayid, Sayed, or Syed. The name is not really a name in the Middle East but rather it is given as a title (like Sir, King, Sergeant, etc.) to someone who is descended from the Prophet Muhammed. The person who has this title usually has a middle name which is his actual first name. My middle name is Adnan or Eden in English. However, I never really use my middle name and I have grown used to Syed as my first name. All my friends and family refer to me by that name. It has been mispronounced many times before and I don't really make a big deal out of it. So this is the story behind my name.
