yes because your name can represent where your family is from.
I dont agree necessarily because a person with the name so to speak Michael doesn't have the same personality as another person named Michael. I name is what you are called, a personality is what makes you.
Katie Said-
Yes your name is a important part of your life because it will represent you that is your name and it will always be with and many names people dont have so you will be a wanna of a kind .
i think its awesome
Yes, I think my name is a good indication of who I am. My first name is MIchelle, but it was supposed to be Jill, but when I was born, my mom said I didn't look like a Jillian. SHe said I looked like my dad's side of the family. My dad's name is Michael so I became Michelle. My maiden name is Matera...which is the actual name of a town in Italy, and I am half Italian. My mom's name is Linda, and my middle name is Lynn.
if you dont have a name then you dont have an identity
Katie said -
luis yours i very true because it is about your family to .
jordan i totally agree with your statement because someones personality is what makes you....good job
My married name, Matysak, tells people that I am married, which is an important part of who I am.
Sometimes. Like, if your name comes from somewhere/something important in your family, then it's probably an important part of your identity. But if it's just a bland name like "Bob" or something of that sort then it probably isn't a big part other than on your ID card.
Brandon...do you mean a literal identity?
I agree because if we wouldn't have names nobody would know who the person is.
Yes it does. Sometimes a persons name can tell what heritage or religion a person came from and it can also identify if your trying to talk to someone.
I disagree with this statement because, alot of people have the same name, so that would mean they would all have the same personality as someone else. Your actions and how you act makes up your personality.
i would agree with this because if you don't have an identity nobody would no who you are or what to call you if they wanted to talk to you
Luis I understand where you're coming from, but what if your name doesn't really have anything to do with your family?
i do agree with this statement because your name ia a very important part of your life and it represents you in a lot of ways.
i think it is important because that tells alot, u dont walk up to someone and say hey noname u want to kno their name. JTR
So Nikkya and Ray...while a name does provide people with a identity in terms of heritage, it doesn't tell much about personality??
if there were no names for anyone. This world would be crazy in stealing, and disaster. So there for there are names everyone. names tell who you are. they are your true identity. so kind of. you could look like a jimmy or a dave or something else.
Taylor Said-
yes your name is important but lots of people have your name so it might not be unique.
raymond said: chan young that is very true because thats what i said to but it also helps with heritage and religion sometimes
Jennifer...how does it represent you?
Taylor Said-
yes your name is important but lots of people have your name so it might not be unique.
Yes, I agree with this statement. If you didn't have a name no one would no who you were.
ray i understand were your coming from but what if it dont have anything to do with their identity\
jtr
I def agree with you Jordan
Yes
because your name is apart of you and its important in
your family because your name can be past down like my name is
Jordan Anderson said I think it does and doesn't because if some people the name just sounds right with what they look like and how they act but some people look like bobs or something and there name will be jakobe.
yes i agree with this statement beacause without a name you are not classified and you are just a nameless soul.
i don't really agree with you. jennifer, some people hate there names, and your name mainly represents your identity.
thanks Luis, and I also can see where the other opinions are coming from.
Chase, I don't really understand what you're saying.
Luis-
You need to give some more discription to the statement that you answered
i agree chance it would be a disaster
so none of you want to be judged based solely on your name?
this is jordan that is true luis but i think you need a little more detail
Hope, your right about not knowing what to call them or no one would know who you were.
Katie said-
Taylor your in some what a true statement..
i agree with your statement morgan, without a name you are nearly non exsiting.
Hope
you are right for the most part...
thier has to be names for crimanal records if not people could get away with alot more stuff and steal more JTR
Chase
That is true about the no names thing
that family's r together
taylor i totally agree with you.
People steal and get away with it a lot of the time wether they have names or not. So I don't really agree with the ones saying that without names people would get away with so much.
I disagree with this statement because, alot of people have the same name, so that would mean they would all have the same personality as someone else. Your actions and how you act makes up your personality.
