Name change

When it comes to marriage, divorce, and the name change game, most people have a solid opinion. Most have such a solid opinion, in fact, that they never question it. They don’t wonder if they’re going to take their spouse’s name or not when they get married. They already know their correct answer. They don’t wonder if they’re going to lose their spouse’s name or not if it comes to divorce. They already know their correct answer. Yet, even those who have never questioned what the “right” thing to do with their “married name” in the event of a divorce will often find themselves surprised by the number of questions and concerns that come to the foreground. When it comes to the ending of a marriage, it would be amazing if we could all check what…

The name-changes of Abraham and Sarah by God are not the only ones found in Genesis as Jacob becomes Israel not just once but twice. Jacob was the son of Isaac and Rebekah making him the grandson of Abraham and Sarah. He even had a twin brother named Esau. Even though most parents say they do not have a favorite child, it was known that Esau was Isaac’s favorite, and Jacob was Rebekah’s favorite. This caused some jealousy towards Esau as Jacob wanted the approval and blessing from his father…

Authors shouldn’t be judged on what gender they are it matters on if the book they wrote is good to be published. Many authors have had pen names for the books that they have written but there is a purpose on why they did that. Some reason why authors have pen names is because they had limited publishing, gender, and not…

I do think that teams should have to change their name if it is disrespectful to other teams or players. But I think it should be something a little more disrespectful, like I don't see anything wrong with the team name redskins. The brownes I would have a problem with or the twinkies especially little eyes that would be very racist well I think so anyway. Teams should not have these kind of names to begin with. Now after they made it their team name you have a problem. Make them change the…

A name is a designation of importance, whether that is positive or negative. When a discovery of new land is made a new name typically goes along with it. When a child is born they receive a name as a symbol of their parents commitment and love. Like a contract, a name seals the connection between the person who gives it and the person or place that is the recipient of it. Names can also be classifications which can elevate a person's status or take that status away. In Toni Morrison's novels…

“Star Children.” “Yes.” “Why?” “I don’t know.” We are not children. We are women, seniors, everything. But we look like children. Teens, even. But we are hundreds of thousands of years old. That is our secret. Star Children! Such a corny name. However, we became this for a reason; we are sprites. Shapeshifters. Some of us are angels. Others are just supernaturals. Nevertheless, we are all members of the magical community. -------------------- We’re trying to track them down. The Enemy.…
