A name is just an identifier used to give a voice and tag to an object or thing. A man may be any name he chooses to be, but he will always be the same man. A leopard cannot change its spots, nor can anyone absolve and remove one's self from the actions of their past.
If a name is an identifier, then what happens to the name if it has no subject for identification? If a name is truly a metaphysical identifier, then is a name still the same as long as the person doesn't change?
