What's in a Name?

I wonder if we still would care if someone we know by a certain name kept that name all his/her life? Frances Gumm or Archibald Leech? Wound we still feel she sings "like nobody's business" & he is the most suave, suffisticated gentleman we ladies would love to have in our lives? You know what, I believe we still would love them: Judy Garland & Cary Grant. I feel that I understand some people feel they didn't like their name as they grew up. Some, I'm sure would ask themselves "what were my parents thinking?" I remember when the folks would pick names out of the Bible. Then made up names from family members. Or just kept using a name in the family they liked (I had that in my family there were about four with that particular name). Now, some people want to change their name to something interesting or odd (Santa Clause, Ynot Bubba, etc.). I myself feel that as long as you know in your heart you are "unique" who cares what your name is. Work with what you are given. Remember...what's in a name, a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. So good luck to you...Metallica!!!
