your name and mine

.
What's in a name? The Roman Catholic pope seems to think there may be important implications:



The Pope says children should be given truly Christian names. But why have some saints and biblical figures inspired baby names, but not others?
Our playgrounds are blessed with a multitude of Daniels, Sarahs and Adams, but not quite so many Amminadabs, Zipporahs or Habakkuks.

The part that always interested me was that we all come out of the womb having no name at all ... and really, things worked perfectly without it.
