A name

Good morning my lovely people on readcash, hope you all had a beautiful night rest? Firstly I want to thank God the giver of life and my wonderful colleague @Olasquare also know as @olawalium for this insight. I got my inspiration from his post about nickname yesterday.

What is a name?

A name is a word or set of words by which a person or thing is known, addressed, or referred to.

Why do we give a name?

Giving a name to a thing or a child is a means of identification. Because if we didn't have a name I wonder how we will be addressing one another, probably we will be calling ourselves our hair colour, height, skin colour or attire we are putting on at that moment. A name has alot to do in the live of an individual, you don't just give a name to a child because you like the sound of the name or because you saw a pretty girl or handsome boy that bears the name. There are lots of circumstances surrounding a name, some names has meanings that we never can imagine why such a beautiful name will have such awful meaning.

Kudos to my parents because none of us has an english name, please don't misquote me oo am not saying english name is bad ooo am just saying my parents don't like giving english name because my dad believes it's better to give a child an indigenous name that you know the meaning than giving a child a name you have no idea of what it means. Also biblical names, there are some biblical names that their meanings are not pleasant and people continue to give their children such names because it's a name in the bible. Giving a name to a child is more than saying the name is in the bible, there are good luck and bad lucks each name carries. Some children in the world today are facing misfortune due to the name they were given at birth, many children grow up and change the beautiful names they were given into another thing all because of that's what's in trend now, they don't want to be addressed locally they want a tushed name. My siblings and I didn't have an english name neither biblical names because my parents believe in giving a local name that they know the meaning.

Know the meaning of a name before giving your child

Before giving your child or children names know the meaning of the name you want to give them, make sure it's a name you are sure of its meaning. A name is very important in a child's life. Like they say in my language that(tori to mo ba da ran la n se so mo loruko) that we give a child a name in case he or she commits a crime 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

In conclusion

Therefore I will implore us this morning to always think twice before giving ourselves names because it has alot to do in our lives.

I hope you enjoy reading this and I will be expecting your comments in my box. Enjoyyy.
