whts in a name part ³

We named u arif, son. Well i wanted just arif and ahmad as the  first name but ur mother has other ideas. We must add in a third name, she  said. Its only fair cos danish have 3 part name. What? Yeah, me too. In the end we named you ahmad arif danial. All with good meaning. U can look it up when ur older if ur mother or i havent told you by then. It wasnt after anyone. We named you you because it was apt, it was you. And there u were, my boys; danish and arif. Brothers forever. I wish i live long enough to see both of you understand and appreciate one another.

apa ada pada nama? (a.k.a. what's in a name?) part 2

 what's in a name, son? a name can be nothing, as what it represent is what its all about. a name is something to call, to refer that of what it represent. and so it can be nothing more than just a tag. but it can be more just a tag. it can reflect the essence of what it represent and also in some counter intuitive way that defy science, it also 'directs' the essence or the substance that is an individual, giving it character and sometime a calling that is pseudo-genetic to the very core of the self that it becomes nature and purpose, awakening, directing every cell to be as what it is called upon to embrace, its name. that is the power of the name.
