A person’s name is their most important characteristic and is often comprised of hidden significance and centurial “hand-me-downs”. When I was assigned to research my name, I had never thought of the importance of the name my parents had given me. As a child, I always found it annoying when my peers turned to snicker at me each time our church’s music minister asked for the congregation to stand and sing “Amazing Grace.” Each time I heard the song “Mary Had a Little Lamb”, there was always someone near to ask, “Hey, where is your lamb?” After conducting research, though, I began to find little things that made me more appreciative of my name.

In summary, this reading passage talks about the relationship between one's name and his or her personal and cultural identities. Richard Crasta, the author of reading, introduces the relations between name and three types of personal and cultural identities: The cultural background, the wishes of parents, and the impressions even biases on personality.

Names, being a primary method of identity, have always had a bearing on the interactions among individuals. In most societies the choice of a name is a choice laden with thoughtful consideration. Varying ethnic groups more often than not have distinctively identifiable names. There has been a raging debate on whether these ethnic names adversely affect the social and economic prospects of those who bear them.

At birth you are given something precious. Unlike a stuffed animal or a baby blanket, this cannot be simply discarded or given away when the owner decides they have outgrown it. A name is something that is normally retained for the duration of one's existence on Earth. Although it may seem to only serve the purpose of identification, a name carries much more than just that; both good and bad preconceptions are latched onto all names. Parents should carefully plan the names of their children to ensure that it will not hold them back in any way, whether from bullying or a connotation that surrounds their given name.

Names are the beacon for the start of life; they give us a way to call one another while also acting beyond simply as serving as references.

A name shows what someone thought of and item, element, or event, and/or wanted others to think of it, using the knowledge that names affect people’s perceptions. Their very diction affects people’s impressions. They can be positive, like the Russian “Patriotic War”; disparaging, as the exonyms used between Burmese ethnic groups implying mixed heritage; or simply descriptive, like “red-eyed tree frog.” Names can also, in the same vein, be intentionally deceptive. For example, an uninitiated individual would probably be more likely to try a dish called “short fries” than one called “turkey testicles,” even though they refer to the same food, because the former brings to mind images of crisply fried potatoes, while the latter recalls bird gonads, which are decidedly less appetizing. One would probably regard
