Have you answered a phonecall today? Perhaps you had a package delivered to your home or made an appointment where you were asked for your name. We may be cut off from much of the world for now, but we are still interacting with people we do not know, people who need to know what to call us.
Many people may not really think about their name; how it sounds, what it means, what others hear when we say it. But for others, it can be a frequent preoccupation, because of how it is mispronounced or how it is not given the same regard as other, more common names. Why is there sometimes a reluctance to get peopleâs names exactly right in terms of pronunciation and spelling? Why are certain names given more attention than others, and how important are our names and their meanings?
