What's in a Name..?

We have been so famiiar with William Shakespeare quotes: "What's in a name". The Masterpiece of playwright William Shakespeare is Romeo and Juliet. The tragic romance story of two young who loves each other but they could not transcend easily the difference background of their family.
Romeo and Juliet are doomed from the start as members of two warring families. Here Juliet tells Romeo that is an artificial and meaningless convention, and that she loves the person who is called "Montague", not the Montague Family. Romeo, out of his passion for Juliet, rejects his family name and vows, as Juliet asks, to "deny" (his) father and instead be "new baptized" as Juliet's lover. This one short line encapsulates the central struggle and tragedy of the play.(Source:eNote.com)
As we know, all parents named their children with good and meaningful name. Certainly they do that with great expectation for their generations. The parents hope their children would be a good and useful person. In business, the name of a certain product could effect significantly to the public trust. In the term of business, it is called branding. This is the most important thing for getting trust of public, and producers expect it will be marketable and prospective.
In my personal life, my parents named me with, according to most of my friends, a very unique one. I am so wondered, whenever I met new friends, they always ask me a strange question: "Where are you from? Your name is so unique..?". Then, I am very curious to know how many people who has the same name with mine.. I want to find out by searching in Facebook. The Results of my searching make me surprised..there are 152 persons come from many countries whose name are the same with mine. For exemple, a young girl from United States named Bianca Pipien Jackson. A man from French, Jean-Louis Pipien. A woman from French, Francise Pipien. Sven Pipien, is a musician best-known from Hannover Germany. And many others which I could not tell one by one in this site.
However, I believe that my parents give me a good name, certainly a meaningful and hopeful one. I must be proud and thankful with this. I have responsibility to realise good expectation of my parents. Now I want to be a good blogger, by hoping someday I will be a productive writer. I must get best chance to big success...Why not?
