HVOR LÆNGE HAR DU HEDDET OLLIE? I HALVANDET ÅR. DET SKETE UNDER EN PERFORMANCE. JEG BAD PUBLIKUM HJÆLPE MIG MED AT VÆLGE MIT NAVN. JEG HAVDE TÆNKT AT DET VAR EN ØVELSE. MEN SÅ KLAPPEDE OG FEJREDE ALLE MIT VALG AF NAVN. MINE VENNER TROEDE AT DET VAR ÆGTE. DETTE VAR MIN NAVNGIVNINGSCEREMONI.



HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN NAMED OLLIE? FOR A YEAR AND A HALF. IT HAPPENED DURING A PERFORMANCE. I ASKED THE AUDIENCE TO HELP ME PICK MY NAME. I THOUGHT IT WAS AN EXERCISE. BUT THEN EVERYONE APPLAUDED AND CELEBRATED MY CHOICE OF NAME. MY FRIENDS THOUGHT IT WAS REAL. THIS WAS MY NAMING CEREMONY.
