Your name is very important.
Your name on a suitcase in an airport or bus station can eliminate an argument. Call someone a name and you can start an argument, and maybe a fight. A name written in a book at a bookstore can increase its value, if it's the autograph of the author. Sign a contract and it's your name that makes it legal. Your name is the sign of possession, of power, a part of you that signifies your character and identity, even when you are absent.
