In a passage in the play Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare, the question is posed, What's in a name? These two characters were doomed because of their names as the families were ene- mies. Native cultures are in the habit of renaming persons according to life events, aging, character, etc. Through- out the Bible many persons were renamed to suit their circumstances in politics, religion and sometimes by God.
