Ever ask yourself, "What's in a name?" Names are the ultimate identifier, representing who you are and how people refer to you. When you were named, there were many influencing factors, from the culture around you, to family traditions, your parents' style, religion and even your native language.

Also, depending when you are born, your name is affected by the trends of that time. For instance in 2009, the name Emma surpassed Emily as the most popular girl's name. In many cultures naming is very important, whether they believe it affects your fate, the afterlife or your personality.
