Names

...Names Ever since I was a little boy, I always remembered wondering how and why things were named what they are; also why/ how the words were formed. On long road trips/ vacations I would look at street signs and store names in foreign places and wonder why things were named as they were. A group of people I thought who put a lot of meaning into what they named things were the Native American Indians. All of the places, people, even animals they named were very symbolic, and had an important meaning. I feel as if in today’s world we don’t put as much thought into the things we name. Even when parents name their kids, some just slap a name on their forehead (not literally.) They don’t think about how they want their child to be raised, or they want them to become as an adult. My good friend was given a made up name when he was born because his father was drunk. To me that’s just cruel. For one thing, it would be rather hard for him to complete an essay like this, but also knowing your name which is a big part of you, has no real meaning. My name, Owen, was passed down 3 generations before me. I asked my father “why has our name been passed down this long? Why did you name me it?” he told me that his great grandfather was born into slavery and explained to me how he was not given a name until he was released and shipped to Jamaica. There, he was adopted at a young age into a family. The family said my great grandfather was a fighter; taking a lot of abuse and seeing a lot...

What's in Name

...Case: What’s in names? According to sociologists and name researchers parents are spending more time and money to find perfect names for their new born babies (Alter par. 1). They use different methods such as pulling ideas from book and websites, hiring professional baby-name consultant, and even check Social Security data (Alter par. 1). Maryanna Korwitt is a nameologist who spent years of studying ancient culture and past traditions as well as research with present-day people (About Maryanna). She started her own name business that helps people to choose right names not only for children but also for new companies and websites (Ferrell 235). She identified her target market as middle and upper class people. She writes books, makes television appearances, and provide consultations (Ferrell 235). Today, many books about baby naming are being published, and hundreds of websites are providing similar services, which all of these make her business more competitive (Alter par.3). Maryanna Korwitt took advantage of a recent trend to give babies unusual names (Ferrell 235). She studies names and how they could affect people’s lives. She believes that a child’s personality is determined by the name it is given, and therefore making the right choice is very important. While there has been an increased demand for help in choosing a child’s name, largely driven by the Hollywood penchant to choose odd names, in Korwitt’s case her business was not customer driven. She started her business...

Names are assigned to everything around us – people, places, things, chemical compounds, trees, technology, inventions and it goes on. Globalization has brought in a scenario at workplaces whereby people belonging to different countries, cultures, ethnic, religious and social backgrounds interact and work together in teams in global organisations. Even within countries, people mingle with others of different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Whatever be the origin of a person’s name, it is a vital aspect of his life as the name is the primary identity that is used to set him apart from others in social interactions, especially daily conversation. In India, there is a significant percentage of people who name their children based on their religion or caste. Either the name or the surname reflects this aspect. When preconceptions are made about a person based on the sole aspect of his/her name, it creates a assumed or misinterpreted image of the name bearer. This greatly affects one’s mental attitude and communication with the other person...

My Name

...chapter we had learned the narrator’s name, Esperanza, which means “hope” in English. “It was my great-grandmother’s name and now it is mine/ She was a horse woman too, born like me in the Chinese year of the horse_ which is supposed to be bad luck if you’re born female-but I think this is a Chinese lie because the Chinese, like the Mexicans, don’t like their women strong.”(p110) this quote meaning that the narrator, Esperanza, explains that she was named after her grandmother and they share the Chinese birth year of the horse, so she expressed a requirement to have known her grandmother. She also expressed her belief to deflect her fate. So that they want to be strong. The quote “the way so many women sit their sadness on an elbow." this also shows her grand mother who was physical and spiritual being was defeated by an unwanted marriage. She explained her grandmother is the one of the others who spend their lives looking out window and trying for escape in her hole life. Esperanza wonders if her grandmother made the best of her situation or she turned her anger at her husband; therefore, hurt herself more than her husband could have. Esperanza would like to change her name to one that expresses true for herself, but she does so in a random way that we are not meant to take seriously. “In English my name means hope.

What's in a Name in "The Harvey Pekar Name Story"

...Joseph Prothro Professor Jett English B1a 16 November 2015 What’s in a Name in “The Harvey Pekar Name Story” Harvey Pekar’s “The Harvey Pekar Name Story” is a comic excerpt from the graphic novel American Splendor, also written by Pekar, which looks into the inner thoughts of a man contemplating his own name, “Harvey Pekar.” As the comic goes, Harvey’s monologue continues to go deeper into why do names matter. Pekar shows this when he writes, “It’s an unusual name – Harvey Pekar… ‘Harvey’ doesn’t really go with ‘Pekar’ — not in the conventional sense at least…” (261). In the end, Harvey comes to the unanswered thought “Who is Harvey Pekar?” (Pekar 264). This all leads to the question, why do we find names important to begin with? What are names? It seems like a simple enough question, but it is actually a very deep and meaningful one. Pekar writes Harvey Pekar in a situation where he thinks out, “What’s in a name? Who is Harvey Pekar?” (264). And in doing this, he brings up the question most people have thought to themselves at on point, “What does my name mean and how does that apply to me?” In the same way that people look into to their ancestry to find connections as to who they are, people do this for their own names as well. People look into the definitions of their names and what that might have to do with their personalities, and they look into how many people might share their name as well and what they might have in common with each other. In their book, A Comics...

Identity and Names

...“A sense of belonging is closely associated with identity, and names are crucial to identity.” ------------------------------------------------- A sense of belonging is made up of various elements, a secure identity being of them. Lahiri questions where is one’s identity found? Is it in their name, their heritage and culture or in their past or present? The Namesake represents identity as one fluid concept and a sense of belonging is closely associated with identity because it is the meaning of the names that can shape the individual’s identity and the clash of cultures can influence the how the individual searches for identity within their name. When Ashima and Ashoke first move to America as immigrants, it is nothing but a learning curve for them as they try and settle into a foreign country where they are faced with cultural differences; and Gogol being the first born is faced with the difficulty of living almost like a test subject as his parents try to master juggling their Bengali heritage and American culture. “They’ve learned their lesson after Gogol…for their daughter, a good name and pet name are one and the same.” This affects Gogol’s sense of belonging and identity as the lesson Ashima and Ashoke have learned prepared them for the challenges of raising their second child, who finds more success in navigating America as a Bengali leading to her finding a secure identity; while Gogol is left with the initial confusions his parents experienced, causing him to feel...

My Name

...“My Name” My given name is Pedro. It is a Spanish form of the name Peter. I got my name because my father’s name is the same. My last name is Sanchez, which is also a Spanish name. My grandfather’s last name is Sanchez, and he was born in Spain. Sanchez is derived from the given name Sancho, meaning “sanctified”. Sanchez is the 8th most popular Hispanic last name. I like my name, but it is a very common male name. Also, my nickname is Pedrito, a sweet form of the Spanish name Pedro. My relatives and friends call me Pedrito, but they never complement it because it is not a very distinguished name. I do not feel my name causes people to treat me in a particular way, but I love my name because it is special to me. Because my name is derived from the Greek word “Petra” meaning “stone, rock”, I could associate my name with any rock. However, there are many types of rocks, and there are a wide range of colors of rocks, depending upon the presence of minerals. If I have to choose an specific color, blue is my favorite. There is a rock named “azurite”, an Arabic word meaning blue. Searching the internet I found that there is a plant named San Pedro. This plant is a cactus that grows in the desert. The plant is light to dark green. I also found a place in California named San Pedro Rock. It is a huge rock formation emerging from the depths of the sea.

Rally Trade Name

...the name in commerce first and if there is any intrusion on another trade name used by another business. As an example of how the court would verify this kind of situation, in the case RICHARD STORE CO. v. RICHARD'S WAREHOUSE SALES & AUCTION GALLERY, Inc. The Supreme Court affirmed in part and reversed in part a lower court decision that enjoined defendant from using the name "Richard" in its advertisements or to use it to acquaint the public with its goods or merchandise. The court held that the decree should have gone further and prohibited defendant from performing any act of advertising that would directly or indirectly represent to the public that plaintiff and defendant were affiliated. (63 So. 2d 502; 1953 Fla) In reference to the Gabby’s case, Gabby cannot use the name Rally’s as she wishes even though it is her surname. It is important to verify if any business in the local area is using that trade name. Of course she would be able to keep the legal name but always with a choice to change to a fictitious name if needed. It is required on all government forms and applications the use of a legal name of any business including applications for employer tax ID, licenses and permits. This legal name does not reflect on the name that the business wants to use on its regular operations. To use a different name a business should have a fictitious name registered with the local government agency. As explained by SBA.gov, 2011 “A fictitious name (or assumed name, trade...

Global Names

...1. What is the purpose if the Global Names Zone in Windows Server 2008 DNS servers? Global Names Zone is intended to aid the retirement of Windows Internet Name Service. It is not intended to support the single-label name resolution of records that are dynamically registered in WINS. Support for these dynamically registered records is not scalable, especially for larger costumers with multiple domains or forests. After enabling the Global Names Zone, the administrator must manually create, add, edit and delete name records from that zone. It doesn’t support dynamic updates. 2. Explain the modifications necessary to DNS for accommodating Read Only Domain Controllers (RODC). How is this different from the way DNS handles ordinary domain controllers? All of the modifications required for accommodating a Read Only Domain Controller are handled through the “adprep / rodcprep step, which modifies the domain schema. A domain-integrated zone on a RODC will not accept Dynamic updates. A file-backed DNS zone on such a RODC would be able to accept dynamic updates, as it has a separate database from the domain database. Server 2008 allows a Domain Controller to not contain a DNS server. 3. Explain Background Zone Loading. The DNS sever in windows server 2008 makes data retrieval faster by executing background zone loading. In the past, enterprises with zones containing large numbers of records in active directory experienced delays of up to an hour or more when the DNS server...

Essay on Origin of My Name

...of your name and how you feel about it. My full name is Saidah Lauren Belo-Osagie. My name is definitely different from the average Joe’s, but it’s special because I know that even though it’s hard to pronounce, people will say, “Hey, you’re the girl with the hard to remember name.” And that’s okay. That’s because I know that my name means something special: Joy. My parents named me Saidah because they believed that I would bring joy and pleasure to the family, especially because right when I was born, a dove came to my window. That was definitely a good sign. The origin of my name comes from the Muslims. I’m not Muslim, and neither is my immediate family. But for some reason, my paternal grandpa was Muslim, for there were many Muslims in Nigeria. They insisted my name be Muslim even though that’s not what my mother had in mind. She wanted to name me Jasmine, a nice, pretty name. Even though I would like the name Jasmine, it was a common name. I need a somewhat peculiar name for a somewhat peculiar girl like me. People usually ask me what I feel about my name because it is so different, but I personally like it. At first I thought it was uncanny and bizarre, and I’d often ask my mom why it wasn’t something that everyone knew. But, of course, my name defines who I am, and I shouldn’t be ashamed of it. Several times, people would ask me what my name was, and when I said it was Saidah, they thought it was a pretty name. That made me feel much less insecure about my name. SAIDAH BELO-OSAGIE...

Names and Their Impact to the Society

...EXPOSITORY ESSAY NAMES AND THEIR IMPACT TO THE SOCIETY How my two names came to be are solely my parents’ property rights, for if I only had spoken just a minute after birth, or if children be allowed to choose names by themselves, then I would have chosen a strange name like no other. It is because there are impacts of names to society which seem to be irreversible and critical. According to my father, “Errol” was derived from Errol Flynn, an Australian-born American Actor during the 1930’s, who was known for his handsome, romantic swashbuckling roles in Hollywood films like Captain Blood (1935), The Charge of the Light Brigade (1936), The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex (1939), and The Sea Hawk (1940) and for playing American Heroes such as Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer in They Died with Their Boots On (1942). He was also known for his playboy lifestyle which ruined his career. The second name “Wynstan” was my father’s discretion. He read Barbara Cartland’s “No Time For Love,” where Wynstan played the good-looking and well-mannered guy who took courage to find and woo Larina Milton, the girlfriend of his elder brother who died of cancer. My first names are a destined identity.

Domain Name Server

...The Domain Name Server Definition: The DNS translates Internet domain and host names to IP addresses. DNS automatically converts the names we type in our Web browser address bar to the IP addresses of Web servers hosting those sites. Because domain names are alphabetic, they're easier to remember. The Internet however, is really based on IP addresses. Every time you use a domain name, therefore, a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For example, the domain name www.example.com might translate to 198.105.232.4. The DNS system is, in fact, its own network. If one DNS server doesn't know how to translate a particular domain name, it asks another one, and so on, until the correct IP address is returned. The DNS was designed to resolve or simply match up the IP address associated with the device to the friendly URL name on the other end. The domain name sever’s function in life is to resolve (translate) the user-friendly Web address to the hard to remember IP addresses from somewhere else. Therefore network providers are responsible for having their own DNS databases updated and in sync, with their outside counterparts, when their trying to talk to one another, because only companies IP addresses will match up with one another on the same network. DNS Server Configuration Types: DNS servers can be configured as one of the following types: Caching-only server A caching-only name server maintains a cache of resolved domain name-to-IP address...
