The Language of Names: What We Call Ourselves and Why It Matters Paperback - 1999
by Kaplan; Anne Bernays; Justin Kaplan
Sparkling with wit and filled with eye-opening, humorous facts and stories, this exploration of the social history, psychology, and role of names and naming process will delight readers intrigued by the mysteries of identity and the quirks of language.
First line
Dan Jansen, the winner of a gold medal for one-thousand-meter speed skating in the 1994 Olympics, drew from a well of primitive behavior patterns when he took a victory lap holding in his arms the infant daughter he had named after his sister Jane, who had died the morning of Jansen's crushing defeat six years earlier.
