Quiz: Can We Guess Your Name?

Names hold a very important significance in a persons life and it is the only true identity that differentiates you from the rest of the 7 billion people in the world! So, let’s discuss some important aspects of names and then take this fun quiz where we will see that can we guess your name or not!

As a result of our culture’s quest for significance, we millennials and Gen Z’ers frequently struggle with the concept of identity. What makes us unique? What defines and gives meaning to us? While some people seek identity through societal opinion, personal accomplishment, or stereotypes, this is invariably a recipe for disaster, disappointment, and disillusionment. Each individual may attempt to locate their identity in something other than themselves, but at the most fundamental level, your identity is defined by your given name. That is how others will identify you, correct?

Thus, what is the significance of your given name? For some, their parents may have given you your name in honor of a relative or because they liked the way it sounded. Perhaps they gave it to you knowing that it carried a particular significance that they hoped you would one day embody. However, what makes a name unique, how does it provide insight into God’s heart, and what does this mean for us?

According to research, everyone’s favorite word is their own name. According to Dennis Carmody of the National Library of Medicine, “there are several regions in the left hemisphere that exhibit increased activation in response to one’s own name.” These regions include the middle frontal cortex, the middle and superior temporal cortex, and the cuneus. These findings demonstrate that hearing one’s own name activates the brain differently than hearing the names of others.” The researchers discovered that when participants heard their own names spoken, certain areas of their brains lit up.

Whether you like your name or not, it has meaning for you. Our names have been inextricably linked to our existence since birth. It is how others learn about you… and how you learn about yourself.
