Why Does Your Name Matter?: Naming, Identity, and an Invitation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781973699736)

Why Does Your Name Matter? Your name matters, both to you and to those who chose it. And it feels good when others show you that your name matters to them, too. It's a bridge between you: using each other's names builds a connection and helps you relate to each other. Exploring the 'why' behind your name is profound. The person who gave you your name intended to convey something essential about who you are. But most of us rarely think about their intention and how that relates to our lives. Why Does Your Name Matter? encourages you to open windows of insight into the world of names, revealing aspects of names and naming you hadn't considered before. Discovering the intentions behind your name - and those of others - provides a powerful tool for connection and reconciliation. This is a journey into names and naming, from your heritage and the legacy of family names, to the ways in which names work in different cultures, to the responsibility of choosing names for the next generation. This book will revolutionise the way you see yourself and others.
