Shakespeare once asked, "What's in a name?" The answer? Our identities as people. It helps us stand apart in a crowd. It gives our friends and family the ability to call out to us when they need us. It ensures that we have something to help society remember us by when we achieve something. In that name is our importance. As author Kelley Amstrong says, "A name is so important. A surname connects you to your past, to your family. Even a given name has meaning - why did your parents pick that particular one?"
