What is in a Name?
If the metals remained the same but you switched the names so that silver were called gold and gold were called silver, would that have changed their value?
If your name is Mike or John or Michelle or Kim would your fate have been different if you name were Julius or Sidney or Rebecca or Cassandra?
Stand in front of a mirror and say:
and fill in the blank with several different names and see how it changes the perception you have of yourself.
As a thought experiment, choose a name and decide to use it for a day with people you don't know.
This may sound taboo to many of you but there will be a few that will take that step outside of the box.

So.. you mean doing a experiment for using different name? i have a experience for this. I am a HongKongese, and you know we have chinese name and english nick name. Once I introduce my English nick name and Chinese name to different person, and it is interesting that when two of them talk about me and they don't know which refering the same person. It's interesting.
Yes I am familiar with that as my friends fron Hong Kong and Guangzhou all had English nicknames. That is the only place I have ever heard that being so common
Your name does make a difference... you've spent most of your life hearing it! Daniel do this... Daniel do that! ... by the time you've got to adulthood you could well be traumatised! Even worse is when they use your full name! Then you know your in trouble! ;-)
I'm a Daniel, but by the time i was 16 I was so sick of hearing it! I decide to become a Danny instead! Don't get me wrong Daniel is an awesome name and I've grown to appreciate it since! but i think Danny sounds so much more positive and suits who i am more... So agreed even a slight change in name can make a profound difference :)
I am a Dan which elicits a different response also. I have noticed this. Nobody calls me Danny, but I have noticed that when someone wants to establish a level of peerage or want me to listen to what they have to say the call me Daniel
Please to meet you Dan :), Not many people call me Daniel these days par from my direct family! Everyone else tends to call me Dan or Danny! I don't mind my family calling me Daniel it's there right as they've been doing it all my life :).

That's pretty deep.
