Words and names

Some people do like to dwell on the idea of some kind of "God" or Divine
Being.
But they should consider whether "God" is a good word for these kind of
thoughts.

Consider if George Bush was called Cyril Frillywilly.
He would command a great deal less respect than he does now.
Imagine if Einstein's name was Tittybottom?

Words and names do matter.

But it is the person that makes the name, not the name that makes
the person.

I agree,

my backname translated into english is meaning something like
"chickenfield". No one ever takes me serious.

But it was only a piece of land where the farmers had their crops from
and the name with which they sold their crops on the market in Delft,
the Netherlands.

Sticks and Stone may break my Bones.
But calling me names will never hurt me.
