Hmmm...What to call this one?

This is a question I face many times a day. Whether it be what to call my next blog, or what to call that one guy sitting back there in the corner of the room trying not to be noticed. Yeah, you know who I'm talking about. Anyways, names have a very important significance in our society. They let people know what to call you, they can let you know when people are mad. Names, we just can't get enough of them.

Town names are important, though if you look at many town names west of the Mississippi River you may doubt that statement. Old days names (colonial times) usually pertained to important things that surrounded the town. People were creative with names, or they named their towns after famous people and whatnot. But as pioneer expansion turned westward, that creativity ran dry and we got names like Browning, Roy, Accident, Bird In Hand, Frankenstein, and Frostproof. I mean, what were these people thinking?! I know exactly what they were thinking. "Hmmm...What to call this one?"

People's names are also very important. One of the first things that parents are asked after they birth a child is, "What are you going to call it?" Names of people are very important for recording purposes. Names get filed with the hospital and all your records can go under your name. Names are important for birth certificates, which serve as the premier source of identification. But again, like the town names, there are some very interesting names out there. For instance, Tempest, Candy, Eustace, Hugo, Juan, Richard, and many many more. What were their parents thinking...I think I know. "Hmmm...What to call this one?"

Names. Nombres. Names. They are very important and powerful things. Use them well and administer them carefully.

And so we go.
