From a very young age, many people start to doodle their names. This is a common practice and begs the question, “why?” Even graffiti artists will often tag a building using names of other people, gangs and other forms of names. So, why are names so important? They are clearly something to think about because for many people, names are everything. Carve Me A Bear! Chainsaw Carvings is here to dive into some of the reasons why names are so important and how you can use artwork with your name on it.
We are Known by Our Names
For many people, the way they are perceived by others is by their name. Your entire image and identity are developed using your name. This doesn’t just mean the birth name that you are given either. This could be the name of sister, brother, mother, father, aunt, uncle, grandma and so on. There are several names that set us apart from others. Without names, we wouldn’t be known to others. This is why so many people take so much pride in their name.
We Honor Loved Ones Using Names
The name for which you know another person is often how you pay tribute to them. You can honor those you love by using their name. There are usually stories that are attached to the name of an individual. They can show the origin, destiny and mission that person had for their life. Some people might memorialize a person by using their name to give to a baby that is born. That name is then carried on and hasn’t passed with the person for which that child was named after. It is a great honor for many to memorialize and honor a person using their name in a number of different ways.
Names Keep Us Alive
Like mentioned above, names are a way to memorialize someone, but they are also used to keep us alive as well. As long as people mention you and use your name, you exist. This is one of the reasons why people are often leaving their mark by writing their name in places that they have been. You might find someone’s name in a bathroom stall, carved into a tree, or etched into playground equipment. People will make their mark using their name in different ways at work and in a professional setting as well.
