On the Importance of a Name Some people think that a name is very important. Most parents would look into the dictionary, search on the internet, or even go to some fortune-tellers for great names for their children. They believe that a name would affect one’s future events such as marriage, career or even life span. That’s why some people, after they grow up and find their own names not to their own taste, would change their names. However, others disagree. They are saying that a name is just made as a way of calling a person. And one’s fate is decided by his/her own efforts. They believe that parents shouldn’t pay too much attention or money on naming their children. What’s important is that they should give them the right education to make sure they grow up to be nice people. As for me, I have to say I agree with the latter more. I mean surely a beautiful name would be wonderful itself, but it doesn’t make your life better. We should make our life better by our efforts but not names. (178字) On the Importance of a Name Interestingly, recently the importance of a name has been brought into hot discussion. Some people strongly believe that a name is responsible for a person’s fate, that’s why they would take all the trouble to try various ways to find wonderful names for their children, expecting the names would work magic for a glorious future. According to these people, a child may grow up happy, smart, attractive, elegant or successful due to their names. Despite that, others have voiced a different opinion that a name is relatively insignificant comparing to the efforts a person makes to realize his/her future dream as a person’s fate is dominantly decided by a person himself/herself instead of the name he/she was given at his/her birth. Opportunities may count; and a person’s own efforts and decisions definitely count; but a name simply functions as the way of the person being called by others, which doesn’t work to change one’s life.
