Whats in a name?

Whats in a name?
Is it identity?
Or is it something
Separating you from me?

Does it show character?
Does it show truth?
Or is it just something
That is given to you?

Do names have meaning?
Like a grandma who died
Are names given in respect?
Or something you should hide

Or maybe its a title
To a story untold
You are the writer
Letting it unfold

If names are so special
Then why are they shared?
Why are they given,
Just to be compared

Labels and character
Truth and meaning
Respect or a story
The answer, unseen
