Title: What's in a Name?

What's in a Name? According to a newspaper item, James Williams of

Beaumont, TX, promised his wife Cosandra that she could choose the name for
their baby girl. "Just before we got married, Cosandra told me that she wanted
our child's first name to contain parts of every family name ever used," said
Williams. "I didn't think it was too great an idea, but I agreed to compromise. We
decided I would name the boys and she would name the girls."
Early in September Cosandra had a baby girl. The baby is called
Jameshauwnell, short for an unpronounceable, 1,019-letter conglomeration of
letters (as in The Calgary Herald, Sept. 19).
In the case of Mary and Joseph, the angel gave the name of the child to be
born of Mary by the Spirit of God. The angel instructed Joseph that the child was
to be called Jesus, a name full of meaning, the Greek equivalent of Joshua,
meaning that Jehovah saves His people. We are glad that Heaven decided on
that name, for it is full of significance to us sinners.
