Right on Eskie!!! That's great addition to the thread

after my post last night i wanted to go back and add a little more, thanks for the opportunity...

what i've learned from this:

a lazy assesment shows me names are important to many people, that names have special meanings and are a bigger part of our identities than simply the word we call ourselves...

ive learned that some have had emotional issues related to the name they are legally required to possess...

ive learned that one can legally change their life simply by changing their own name as it relates to self-image...

ive seen we can name ourselves as well as be named by others with intention to harm, as well as do harm unintentionally with the names we use or recieve, given to ourselves and/or others...

ive learned there is really a lot in a name...

Thanks All!
