"What's in a name? That which we call a rose/ By any other word would smell as sweet" (Romeo and Juliet, II.2.44-45). This week we tackle how names effect us and our identity. We talk to our friends about strange names, how people we know were named, and how names might change as we grow older and when we go to different cultures. The music from this episode is: My Name Is (Eminem), A Boy Named Sue (Johnny Cash), The Name Game (Shirley Ellis), Say My Name (Destiny's Child), and Istanbul (They Might Be Giants).
