At the same time, I don't think I'm the only one saying this, I already have names picked for when I have kids. With everything I just stated, I completely disagree with when I think about naming my kids. All I think about is how beautiful the name sounds and how much the name means to me simply because it's my child. That is what makes names so important.

It's just a name
Why are our names so important? We have origins and meanings and some are passed down from our grandparents. Some people just happened upon their names and don't carry as much significance as others. But what really makes a name so important? It's not like when we introduce ourselves on the first day of school or write down our names on a test we get to add in why our name is so special. Especially when someone has the same name as us, what makes there's or yours any better? I feel like sometimes our names are just a more creative way of separating us from others. Instead of girl 1 and girl 2 we're Abigail and Haley. Some people even just name their kids because it sounds nice or "they look like a Haley".

That's a really interesting way to think about names. I mean when it all boils down in the end, our names only distinguish us from the next person. Names are just identifying agents in a sense.
