Why Do We Have ‘Names’ and What Makes a Name Significant?

Names help us remember people. Imagine if you had to say 'the tall boy with blue eyes' every time you wanted to talk about your friend, that would be hard! A name is like a special word just for one person, and it makes life easier. Sometimes names can even feel magical, like when a character in a story has a name that shows what they’re good at.
