I've been thinking about this and I wonder if your name makes a difference to who you are.
You may sit/ stand there thinking...duh, no. You're name doesn't define you, you define you.
My opinion of it is...No my name does not make a difference. Whether I was an Esther, a Anita, a Tamara or a Sharon I would still have had the life I had. But I do think I was meant to be called Esther. I guess it comes back to the whole fate and destiny thing. And believing that everything happens for a reason.
