A Story With a Title By An Author With a Name

Tripping, falling, turning around, not walking away, saving her life, then saying I have a name. Famous names, infamous names, good names, why names? His Name is HASHEM, meaning The Name. Her Name is YAH. "Don't change your name!" Jarie instead of Jaroslava, Jake instead of Jacob, Dave instead of David, Marvin instead of Emanuel, Raymond instead of Reuven, Arlane instead of Arlene, Batyah instead of Rut, Nisha, Y'israel, Beth instead of Elizabeth, Katie instead of Catherine, Kate instead of Katie, Em instead of Emily, Joey instead of Joseph, Joe instead of Joey, Elishevah instead of Marlene. Ginsburg instead of Skoller, Granton instead of Ginsburg, Ginzberg instead of Granton. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... Betsy, Betsinko, Liz, Beth, Batyah--progression, growth, satisfaction with renewal of a new name, a new season. 70 faces to the discussion of the Torah. God has 70+ names, Elohim: warrior, power name. Everything and everyone has a name: stars have names, flowers have names, trees have names, animals have names. Some people have more than one name. Fighting with an angel, Jacob changed to Israel. Rabbi changed Israel to Batyah. Hebrew names. If one changes a name one heals. Website domain names, user names, nicknames. Taking spouse's name, changing a name in court, divorcing and taking back one's name. Titles of books, songs, paintings. Why have a name? Mending a broken heart and saving lives earns one a name. The names Chai and Chaya mean life.
