Name-designation is such a personal act. It uniquely identifies a person with his or her origin, culture or history, even with a place. Unlike any digital code, a person’s name commands immediate attention that it makes the human turn upon the sound of his or her name. Compared to the place where we were born or live, our given name or moniker becomes an indelible mark that identifies us. It directs power or authority, implies traits of either strength or weakness, and connotes a personality.
While indeed a plethora from the human population is personally affiliated with a name, quite a considerable number are drawn to other people’s names as well. Inevitably, some form of inimitable connection is crafted because a person gives so much premium on the name of someone important to him/her and on what the other person stands for.
