                  On the importance of a name
Just like the saying goes that "apparel maeks the man",name can also represent a lot of a person and leave impressions on others.In today's society,people are paying more and more attention to their names.Some people even make a living on choosing names for other people.Should names really matter a lot?The opinions various from people to people.

Some think that name is very important for the reason that it is a part of the person and a good name can even bring success and fortune to a person.So the parents who hope their children will have a bright future may even go to the temples and beg good names for their children. A name contains parents' wishes and hopes in it and almost every parent will beat their heads to think out an excellent name for their child.

However,other people don't think so.Their opinion is that the name is just a symbol and don't have much significance in itself,so we shouldn't have paid so much attention to it.It is also unnecessary to change one's name after using it for years.How can you get used to the new name after using the old one for such a long time?It sounds so strange and like the name of the other person.

In my opinion,both sides have their own reasonable excuses,but I do think we should spend some time and think out a good name for the children.It is not the name that brings success and fortune to us,but the efforts that make by ourselves do so.But a good name can boost our confidence to some extent.

According to the Bible, it is the almighty God who gave names to everything he created: "he named the light ‘Day' and the darkness ‘Night'". In fact, a name is a word or phrase that man uses to denote and identify a specific person, place or thing. There is no inexorable correlation between the sign and "the signified". For this reason, some claim that names are not so vital as they are supposed to be. However, I am fully convinced that they are of great importance.

Take the name of a person as an example. It is known to all that a person's name is divided into two parts: given name and surname. The given name is the name our parents assign us. We ourselves might change it later in our life. Usually, when a name is given, it contains a lot of information. Say, "li" in the name of some Chinese females shows that we wish them to "beautiful" while "wei" in the names of some males reveals that we expect them to be "great" in their future life.

As to the surname or family name, it is even more important, so important that some people may sacrifice their life for it. Originally, man had no such a name. But ever since a certain name was given, each member of the family carries it wherever he goes. Rather than merely a sign, it is the root from which we can trace back to our ancestor, the tie that helps bind us to other members of the same clan, the dignity most people hope to live for.

Apart from the name of a person, that of a place or thing is also significant in that it embodies history and culture. All in all, though names are assigned artificially, man is not free when giving names. But God is.
