URWT 1103 October 5, 2015 Writing Prompt 5 In many cultures, in both todays and yesterdays society, place a great amount of importance in a persons name. In older cultures, a childs name was predetermined before it was born by various types of process, but the parents didnt have much say in what their childs name was going to be. In some cultures, a person was given many different names throughout their life for a variety of reasons, whether it be coming of age or some ritualistic meaning, such as trying to throw a spirit off of your trail.

Names dont hold a great significance in my family but nonetheless they are important.
