I don’t remember it being that deep. Is my memory bad or is he lowering it on purpose, to sound older?“Zombie, that’s Cassie,” Sam chides him. “You know—Cassie.”“Cassie?” Like he’s never heard the name before.“Zombie?” I say, because I really haven’t heard that name before.I pull off the cap, thinking it might help him recognize me, then immediately regret it. I know what my hair must look like.“We go to the same high school,” I say, drawing my fingers hastily through my chopped-off locks. “I sit in front of you in Honors Chemistry.”Ben shakes his head like he’s clearing out the cobwebs.Sammy goes, “I told you she was coming.”“Quiet, Sam,” I scold him.“Sam?” Ben asks.“My name is Nugget now, Cassie,” Sam informs me.“Well, sure it is.” I turn to Ben. “You know my brother.","author":"Rick Yancey","tags":["ben-parish","cassie-sullivan","names","nugget","recognize","remember","sam-sullivan","zombie"],"id":8007,"author_id":"Rick+Yancey"},{"text":"Is everyone with one face called a Milo?'Oh no,' Milo replied; 'some are called Henry or George or Robert or John or lots of other things.'How terribly confusing,' he cried. 'Everything here is called exactly what it is. The triangles are called triangles, the circles are called circles, and even the same numbers have the same name. Why, can you imagine what would happen if we named all the twos Henry or George or Robert or John or lots of other things? You'd have to say Robert plus John equals four, and if the four's name were Albert, things would be hopeless.'I never thought of it that way,' Milo admitted.'Then I suggest you begin at once,' admonished the Dodecahedron from his admonishing face, 'for here in Digitopolis everything is quite precise.","author":"Norton Juster","tags":["geometry","mathematics","names"],"id":9058,"author_id":"Norton+Juster"},{"text":"Authors want their names down in history I want to keep the smoke coming out of the chimney.","author":"Mickey Spillane","tags":["want","down","names "],"id":9588,"author_id":"Mickey+Spillane"},{"text":"I come from a culture of handwringers, vengeance seekers, people who name children after ancestors by rote -- first child, paternal grandfather, second child, maternal, and on and on and on.","author":"Julia Glass","tags":["culture","names"],"id":9977,"author_id":"Julia+Glass"},{"text":"Young man, names are powerful things.

A flick through the London telephone directory would yield about four thousand John Miltons, two thousand William Blakes, a thousand or so Samuel Colleridges, five hundred Percy Shelleys, the same of Wordsworth and Keats, and a handful of Drydens. Such mass name-changing could have problems in law enforcement. Following an incident in a pub where the assailant, victim, witness, landlord, arresting officer and judge had all been called Alfred Tennyson, a law had been passed compelling each namesake to carry a registration number tattooed behind the ear. It hadn't been well received--few really practical law-enforcement measures ever are.","author":"Jasper Fforde","tags":["followers","law-enforcement","names","poets"],"id":15223,"author_id":"Jasper+Fforde"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":169,"pages":17,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
