The Power Of Names by nony43(m): 9:37am On Oct 17, 2020
Do you believe that you are your name? I am one of those who believe that you are your name, and your name is you. Some people are as evil as the names they bear.

Does your name challenge you?
Some people just name their kids after others or just because the name sounds nice without doing a background check.

Imagine a family that has death in their last name and every year they keep loosing someone and are blaming their enemies

Are you your name?
It is also worthy to note that there are types of names.

Biblical and saint's names: Names inspired by the Bible and Christian saints, including meaning and history. Example of such names are Aaron and Abigail

Gothic names: Names which are inspired by or represent the Gothic period and modern Goth culture. Example are Bran (m) clover (F)

Modern names : Names with relative short stories, which go back only decades. Example Kennedy (m) Jolie (f)

Traditional and old fashioned names : These are names which are inspired by historical characters, the bible and classical literature. E.g Alexander (m) Amander (F)

Unisex names:These are names that can be used for either boys or girls e.g (Angel)

Medieval names : Names with roots dating back between 5th and 15th century. E.g Bernard (m) Cecilia

Theophoric names: Theophoric are inspired by the names of ancient gods and goddesses

Hypocorism: Are shorter version of given names, which are also known as nicknames. E.g Tony (m) (Lucy) F

See, you have not finished your thinking for if a name is you, therefore, where is the Power of a Name if you, the person, is removed?

A Name has No Power of its own But it's power Flows From the Person.

So if a Person is power full, so is the name and if a person has no power, so is the name.
