Impact of Names on Life and Literature – a general perspective

Summary/Abstract: Names and naming in general have always been an interesting, yet a challenging initiative, given the fact that nowadays parents devote numerous hours to reading forums and written articles when a child is on the way. The same strategy is sometimes applied when writers decide upon a certain title for their piece of writing, as well as the names of personages in their creation. In classical literature, finding the meaning behind a proper name is a challenging and hard task compared to children’s literature. Thus, a symbolic name makes the literary character a more powerful “weapon” in the hands of the author and creates yet a stronger emotional and more thorough understanding in the mind of the reader.
