The Hebrew word Neshamah contains the word Shem or name, linking the two together.
The Ba'al Shem Tov commenting on Genesis 2:19 wrote Hashem hu haneshamah shel ha'adam, one's name is one's very soul.
1 Samuel 25:25 seems to tell that one is one's name: כי כשמו
So does a name that's been given has any influence on who we become (according to Jewish teachings and scriptures)?
