name
What identifies you
A name is what something or someone is called—the word or words by which a person, place, or thing is identified and addressed.
Your name distinguishes you from others: What's your name?
Names extend to titles and reputations: She made a name for herself in journalism.
To name is to give a name or to identify: They named their daughter after her grandmother, Name three state capitals.
In someone's name means on their behalf or in their honor: a donation in my father's name.
To call someone names is to insult them.
