what's in a name?

A name is the most powerfully understated identifier of humankind.
 Our individual names are what define us against the sea of humanity.
Our names are an expression of our heritage
                           where we come from,
                                                                who our parents hoped we would become,
                              what they thought was important,

Your name says if you belong where you are
                                                     Our names define us as much as our face
            Names hold our identity
                                              How we're known

                         How we want to be known
                                               What we want others to know about us
                                                                            What we don't want to be known about us
