Identity is very important to all of us, which is why the things they define us also become significant. We use different things to make up our identity. The favorite toy of a child becomes a part of their personality as they take it everywhere. When they grow up, they feel embarrassed about a time when they were so attached to a teddy bear. Throughout life, the importance of things changes, and they get replaced by other objects, and sometimes people. In school or college, your group of friends becomes a part of your identity. Your teacher will ask them about you if you don’t show up for class. But the thing that stays with us and never gets replaced is a name.

The name of a person is the most important part of their identity. Some people say a name also affects the personality of a person. While the validity of that can be debated, no one can deny the importance of a name. But like cultures and languages, names also vary from region to region. This is why there are so many jokes about people mispronouncing the name of a person who does not share a cultural background with them. Some names have religious values, while some are important parts of a culture. Some are even taken from folklore or fairy tales.
