JTHipster is right. Written names consist mostly of letters and spaces. All written language does. But spoken names are full of much more. What's in a name? 1. associations 2. identity 3. often history and genealogy 4. destiny -- if you had been born Fielder, Walker, or Homer you would seriously consider becoming a baseball player... and many other examples. (my Grade 6 5 teacher: Mr. Book; another teacher: Mr. Boss.)
