The Social Implications of Names
Over at my other blog, Nav Tej Kohli, I’ve put up a post about my name and the social implications and trends surrounding names in general. We’re tied to our names in so many ways and our names tend to give a lot away about us without us having to do anything at all.
Although we may try not to judge people before we meet them, or within a short period of meeting them, their names set a precedent for what we expect even before we’ve laid eyes on them. My post covers some of the oddities and social rules surrounding names and naming.
