To some people, yes. They strongly believe that a name is responsible for a persons life. Therefore, they take all the trouble, trying various ways to search wonderful names for themselves or their children, expecting the names would work magic for a glorious future. To others, however, the answer is NO. According to them, the name is a nothing but a lifeless code. Being lifeless, a code is powerless, not to mention it is so called magic of bringing a person success. To achieve success, they say, opportunity may count, and ones own efforts definitely count, but a name that simply function as the way of distinguishing one from another, obviously dont. As far as I am concerned, a name is important in a sense. After all, the first thing that people learn about a person is usually his name, and a name that sounds beautiful may give and leave people a great first impression. However, it is not that important or powerful as to promise a person his bright future. For a bright future, we need intelligence, honesty, sincerity and efforts more than just a beautiful name. |
