What would be and how would your life run if you were not given a name?

Question

would then be an animal-like existence?

Answer 1

Sorry, your question doesn't make sense to me.

Answer 2

I guess, i would have been given a mark for identification or which would represent my identity.

Life would be the same, i guess.

Animals too have got names dear, meaning we use them for their identification but they too have their way of identifying each other.

I guess life would not be any different.

Thanks for asking dear

Answer 3

I remember reading that Charles Manson was not given a name when he was born. It was left blank at first. That might be some indication of what it would be like.

Answer 4

I will feel like achild. A child does not know it has a name or it has been given a name. It does not recognise that at all. So, a child responds to all sounds  aropund it.  Some are frightening . Some are soothing and most are just noise.

That is how I would respond in life if I were not given a name.  

Answer 5

It would be like in the military and I'd have a number and letter based string of digits.

3432REWR432 - Hey but you can call me Three Four for short!

Answer 6

Then you could just use whichever one you wanted....

Answer 7

well no matter what, because everything in this world needs an id, you would be labeled in some way or fashion. a name is just something that came up before anything else. like if we came up with numbers before names, we might of in fact just had numbers as our labeling system. like that on a zune or computer.

Answer 8

it would be impossible because you need an ID for almost everything. How would doctors manage your medical record?

Answer 9

I would create an identity for myself.

Answer 10

maybe would be more content, we would not have the illusion of individuality. The Japanese didnt' used to have names (besides the nobles) They were called what they did, things like Old Fisherman with one eye and what have you.

Answer 11

my life would be the same honestly. my name is normal and and well, it's just a name

Answer 12

they couldn't run a credit check and i wouldn't have to file any income tax or file for unemployment.
