Names

I have such an infatuation with names.  I’m the weird girl that goes to the library and checks out baby name books, not because I'm pregnant or even considering becoming pregnant at any time in the near future, but just because I love names.  Names, and certain words in general, I find to be so enchanting.  I think my fascination for names is because they are so important.  They’re not only just words assigned to describe/call us but also words that define us.  Each person embodies his or her name—both with his or her own unique personality and with the stereotypes that others place on that particular name. 

So, names are beautiful and uplifting, but they also can be unfair, mean, and degrading.  The names we receive—both at birth and throughout our lives from others we encounter—have an extremely influential effect on our souls.  The good names can lift us up with encouragement and beauty, while the bad names we receive can pull us down with self-hatred and insecurity.

Therefore, we must be very careful with the names we choose to give others because the names are more than just words.  They have potent life energies within them that can elevate or crush a person in the blink of an eye.  So, choose names wisely.  They may be beautiful, but they can also be deadly.
