On the importance of a name
第一篇(王迈迈)
In recent years, many people become more and more concerned about the importance of a name. They choose very carefully the names for their children and sometimes even for the shop, restaurant or the company they run. They consider that a name can influence a person’s whole life. What’s more, some people believe that sometimes a good name would bring good luck.
However, people’s view varies from person to person. Not everyone thinks a deliberately chosen name really means so much. They argue that a name is just a name, to which people shouldn’t attach too much superstitious ideas. Success depends much more on hardworking and down-to-earth attitude than how you name a shop or a person.
As far as I am concerned, I favor the latter opinion. Although a carefully chosen name can tell the best wishes of the elder for the young generation, we still ought not to rely on the fortune a name can bring, nor can we blame our occasional bad luck on it.
第二篇
Interestingly, recently the importance of a name has been brought into hot discussion.
Some people strongly believe that a name is responsible for a person’s fate, that’s why they would take all the trouble to try various ways to find wonderful names for their children, expecting the names would work magic for a glorious future. According to these people, a child may grow up happy, smart, attractive, elegant or successful due to their names.
Despite that, others have voiced a different opinion that a name is relatively insignificant comparing to the efforts a person makes to realize his/her future dream as a person’s fate is dominantly decided by a person himself/herself instead of the name he/she was given at his/her birth. Opportunities may count; and a person’s own efforts and decisions definitely count; but a name simply functions as the way of the person being called by others, which doesn’t work to change one’s life.
As far as I am concerned, a beautiful name certainly is one of the factors to ma ke a great first impression. However, it’s not so important and powerful as to decide a person’s future. To grab the fate, we need intelligence, honesty, sincerity and efforts more than a
name.
第三篇(恩波)
A name is the representation of a person or an entity. It plays an important role in social recognition, just as the old saying goes: a thing is the entity of a name. However, people have diverse opinions on the importance of a name. Some people say that name is important, while the others maintain the other way round. But I think name is of great importance because it is the symbol that distinguishes one thing or person from the others.
We cannot deny the importance of a name, be it for a person or a thing. In the world today, no one can live without identification because they must get social recognition, and name is the symbol of the identification. Once a person or a thing gets social recognition, people will remember their names, and they will get further improvement. Besides, a good name will bring people some nice association. A person with a special name may be easily accepted by a group or a community because of the deep impression the name leaves.
As for companies or products, a name is also vitally important. Years ago, a computer company spent millions of dollars for the
name “Acer”. Since then, the company caught the attention of potential customers and became one of giants in the field. However, another company was facing bankruptcy, for the name of its product implies unfavorable meaning thus cannot be sold out. Can we say that name is not important?
A name may affect the whole life of a person, and a name may also influence the future of a company and its products. Therefore, we must treat names carefully.。
