EDITOR'S NOTE
wnats in a name!
Everything.
Parents get a lot of attention for how they discipline their children, or the rules they set, but an unjustly small amount is placed on the all-important naming of a child. A name, for better or worse, is a person's label, identity and heritage. It is a clue to ethnicity or legacy (just think of all those juniors or numeral suffixes). It has an original meaning that's supposed to bestow a profound clue to a person's essence.
People become synonymous with their names; just try to imagine yourself, or a friend or your parents with a different one. Would we revere Paul Revere if he were Paul Abhor? Would we respect a Candi Rooseveit as much as Eleanor? Could Madonna have built her legacy upon a name like Esther?
Most of us found relationships upon similarities in interests or personalities. For his article (p.10), Jason Shaad interviewed men with whom he has nothing in common — nothing but a name. It's a backwards way of grouping
people, but yields a fascinating array of traits, appearances and interests.Jasons are as varied as anybody else.
Natalie Johnson
An article in fast week's joylay needs correction. The article "The sinister form of flattery" should have said that Diane Diamond will perform at 9 p.m. tomorrow, May 5, on the Border. The band will perform at 10 p.m. May 13 at the Jozwaels.
So don't feel bad, all you Lindseys and Johns out there. Though your name has a set connotation and meaning, you give it a distinct flavor.
