The Significance of Names

Your Name. Your Identity. 

Your name is more important than you can possibly imagine. It’s a core part of our identity, and many feel frustrated when someone just benignly mispronounces it, as if it was an intentional slight. This is because it is a part of who we are, much like our culture and heritage.

When you are born, you are given an identity through your name. A name helps differentiate you from others. The impact of a name on identity is intercultural. Names are always central in defining identity.

"Your name is the one word that signifies you." ~Karen Crane

"A person's name is the "verbal doorway" between the individual and society. Far too many people think they have the right to trample on the individual's name."  

~Karen Crane 

"Having names carelessly handled [...] has an effect on one’s identity. It can feel like something is being slowly wiped away, leaving you feeling like a faded sketch of a person, not fully realized." 

~Michelle Kambasha 

"Your name is one of the most important parts of how you connect with another human being: you give your name when you first meet, and your name becomes that which, in their mind, identifies you as an individual." 

~Karen Crane
