A person's name is the title of their life story. It is chosen for them at birth as a way to distinguish them from the rest of the herd. Each name has its own unique meaning to different people. Various cultures have different ways of choosing a child's name at their time of birth, which attributes to the fascination around the naming process.
For some, their names are hereditary: the name has been used for several decades and continues to live on with each new generation. Other names are chosen for a variety of other reasons, from a general love for the name, to a preference for the meaning behind the name. Furthermore, some are chosen because the name signifies something or someone who possesses the characteristics they wish for their child to have.
In the Western world, it is common for children to be given a first name (sometimes referred to as a given name), followed by a middle name and ended with a surname. Some people even choose to have two middle names for their children, as a means to attribute multiple family members in the name, or simply because they couldn't narrow their list down to only one.
Inside this book, we are going to discover a variety of things including naming conventions and traditions, how your name reflects who you are, how to choose the right name, and unusual and challenging family combinations. We will also explore a variety of names from timeless classics to modern trends, and unique favorites!
