Our names are the greatest connection to our identity. When we make the effort of remembering someone's name it shows that we care enough and are giving them respect. For example, if someone forgets our name even though we had introduced ourselves to them, there is a sense of disappointment. We attach great importance to that one word, which is all ours. They are also the signals of who we are and where we come from. We think long and hard before giving our babies their names because they have to carry it with them for the rest of their life.
