Names have power.

Rick Riordan
About This Quote

Names have power is a common saying that implies that the individual’s name can have an impact on how others perceive them. For example, if you are running for president, your name may have a great deal of influence over the voters who are deciding whether to vote for you. As another example, if you are being asked to join a club, your name will have the most significant impact on whether or not you get in.
