Your Personalized Name
Is Meaningful
Why?...
Your Name Gifts Meaning
To Your Life in The World
The gift of our personalized name comes with meaning, integrity and responsibility, in honoring that name. The message of your own personalized name and your way of being within the world is told.
Human beings start with the simplest of linguistic act: The naming of things. Naming is an act of remembrance and a special way to attract and hold attention. Having words for forms and humans establish our differentiation between each other, and our our individuality. With naming we see more clearly, we distinguish our sense of self.
Our personalized name acknowledges our existence, and create a separation from everything else that bears a name. To name confers upon us the dignity of autonomy while at the same time affirming our belonging with all the rest of our namable world. To remodel our separateness into familiarity, which is that the root of our empathy towards each other. To call us to pay attention, to call us to like, to connect. To name us adds meaning to our place in the world.
Creating special personalized names for each other also creates an intimacy that speaks of love, connection, careful observation. We elect to confer the dignity of recognition, and a sign of relevance to call beings by their personalized name, and an indication of disrespect to ignore it.
Parents name their babies as a primary marker of individuality surrounding our humanity. Lovers give one another personalized names and nicknames that sanctify their intimacy. The facility of naming is an intimate mode of knowing. The personalized names we speak reveal the intimate knowledge we have of each other, the sweet secret personal names we have for the ones we love.
The personalized names we give each other and ourselves are a powerful form of self proclamation and determination, declaring ourselves sovereign beings. As well names are the ways we humans build relationships, with one another and the world around us. Intimate connection that confers recognition in an all-too-often anonymous world.
Your Name Gives Meaning
To Your Personal Story
It is the ability of naming that bestows meaning and drives deep connections. Humans have a deep desire, need, and want to name and be named. Researchers have long acknowledged that there's incredible power in the naming of things.
Long before the written alphabet was invented, and as far back as oral history exists, humans have felt compelled to name—from things and people to nature and creatures, everything. It’s a practice that transcends cultures and religions, geographies and time periods, from primitive tribes to the modern day.
Why We Name:
Everyone names. It’s our right as humans, friends and family to assign personalized names. We give special names to our kids, our grandparents, our siblings, and romantic partners - from Mimi and Papa to Honeybear and Sugar Pie.
Researchers have long acknowledged that there's “great power in naming things”. Naming a possession not only indicates affection but also triggers further bonding upon the object. The act of naming cements psychological ownership—the feeling that something is yours, emotions are connected. Personalized names convey our emotional life.
Naming is internal. once you personally name something, you are doing so to bring it closer. And this emotional center drives our desire to name and be named and therefore deepens our connections. We associate personalized names with very personal emotions. To bring something close, to attach with it in an emotional way, is to name it.
A Name Is Much More Than A Word:
Names and words may occupy the identical space and occasionally they collide. A name can influence the reputation and meaning of a word. Words have meaning, but names have have more singular individually felt meaning. Your personalized name elicits distinct associations, emotive feelings, personal connections, commitments and even expectations.
Names can mean so many things and tackle many different roles. We all bring our own way of thinking and feeling to it. We personally name to describe, refer, symbolize, simplify, organize and most importantly name the identify of ourselves. Through the act of naming, we make ties and emotional bonds with people and things.
As told in Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince: “… If you name me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world.”
Your Name Is Meaningful
For Your Self-Identity
& Individuality
I can’t remember my grandmother ever forgetting my first name. Not saying she didn’t; but if so it must have been an extremely rare exception as I have no memory otherwise. When she had something important to say, she would lean closely to me, at look over the edge of her glasses with a raised eyebrow, and began her stories by first emphatically saying my personalized name: “Lexi.”
The wisdom of sages would sometimes follow. Other times, they were words of little consequence — an exaggerated tale of bargain-hunting at the market, or an endearing opinion about current events. regardless of the content, I felt seen and understood by her. I felt important, because grandma was telling me - and only me - something she cared about.
When evoked, calling someone by name can cause us to feel important and valued. Calling our personalized name reminds us of who we are.
Remembering and calling someone by name transcends language. It calls deeply to identity and individuality. It creates feelings of safety, respect and value. This is at the core of dignity and humanity, and our individuality.
Conclusion:
What’s in the meaning in your personalized name? Your personalized name is the key to reading your soul. It is the signpost to your individual self-understanding, to the dreams to which you as an individual aim to realize and your aspirations as a unique being.
“Your personalized name is meaningful.
It is your identity, individuality and humanity,
and the beginning of your story.”
