I would have to disagree with this, because some people may change their name, or someone might think something different when they hear the persons' name.

I dont really agree with this statement a name is just something parents name you it doesnt really give you idenity or anything

I agree with this statement because your name is one way of seperating you from everybody else and it helps you communicate easier because you will know when somebody is talking to you.

Yes it is the most convenient way of identifying somebody. Without a name it would be quite difficult.

Nikki,
I have to agree with this statement a person's name is important. If nobody had names then we wouldn't know who was who.

i do not think that the name affects someone's attitude i think that nomatter what you name someone they will have the same personality.

Of course it is, If someone steals your name they are stealing your identity.

Jake W. Ryan I would have to dissagree with this statement. I don't think what your name is has impact on how your identity. I cant really anay experience that relates to this statement.

This is true because if people walked around with out a name, then it would be sooooooooo hard to talk to people because like my mom always used to call me sean because i looked like him and when she would yell sean trying to talk to me he would come running in. So yeah it is a big part of someones identity

mmatysak said...

I agree because your name is your name and it is on all of your important papers like for your car and house and and your childs birth certificate.

I would have to disagree with this statement. Someone could have the same name as you and you may not even know it. The other person with the same name could have done a crime and you could get get in trouble with the police just because someone with the same name as yours broke the law.

Tyler,

I dont really see how someones name can relate to their identity.
People cant really pick their names so i dont see how it relates to them. So no I dont agree with this statement

i do not agree with this statement becuse they could be a good person but have like a stupid name so no one talks to them thinking they are stupid becuse they have a stupid name

Tyler.

Using a name to identify somebody,, ok yeah its important but otherwise you cant really tell how a person is or acts by their name if you dont know them.

Nikki, i agree with you,but their name should judge them. Only use it to identify them thats all. Not what kind of person they are.

i know that but nomatter the name they will always act the same so you cant really judge them on their name you would have to do it by the way they act.

Shawns comment dosen't make sence because the blog dosen't ask about someones name dealing with their personality or the attuid but with their identity

Tom

Shawn, i now see what you mean, but it was a bit different sounding earlier.

Elizabeth
mmatysak, maybe your last name is really common like smith or something and there are more then there might be more then one person.

mmatysak said...

Sean-John,
Think outside the box here. Isn't your personality/attitude help form a person's identity?

Anonymous said...

Chance
I disagree, your name isn't a choice of yours and even if you didn't have one you'd still have a personality. Your name is only something people use to associate with you. (I don't think the last sentence makes sense)

I disagree with you Emily because you have to have a name or your not going to get a car or even your drivers licenc and if you don't have that then your not going to transport your self any where.
