Name Quotes

A name carries more history than it seems.

These quotes explore names from a few sides - living with a name that carries an unusual meaning, the messy improvised way band names actually get chosen, and the pride of having your name tied to a brand you believe in. See I Am Quotes for related themes.

City
|
Nov 07, 2020
