WHAT'S IN A NAME? - The Birth of John the Baptist

The Birth of John the Baptist features the formal declaration of his name.
What is the significance of names?
How does the meaning of our own name coincide with our call as disciples of Jesus?
What is the meaning of your name? How do you see the meaning of your name (given name, family name, religious name, Confirmation name, etc.) as serving to emulate your call as a Christian?
