Do you like your name? What is the meaning of your name? Which other name would you like you?
Our name is a part of our identity, it defines us and distinguishes us from other. That our name defines us is a reality, but we do not always feel identified with it; even, some people decide to change their name.
Thats is a good point, because I think that is important feel identified with your name, as It is your "label", It is your "stamp". I disagree about the name is not transcendental; my name is part of me and I reflect my name in my daily life.
Definitely, the name give you identity. Other people call you about your name.
