What's in a Name?

I've been thinking about names lately.

God tasked Adam with naming. Have you ever considered why?

That delegated authority has significance; consider how God spoke things into existence and how giving something a name likely influences the thing named, through whatever latent power exists in that delegated authority. Naming things is important.

God renamed people. Jesus renamed people. Does it seem consistent that naming our children is also important?

What is your name's meaning? How do you think it has influenced your life up to this point?
