Likewise there are names that God has given us.

I would like to suggest that there is a name that is most dear to God, Friend.

When you hear certain names, they will illicit a conclusion about that person. When you hear Bubba, you might think he is a goofy fun loving guy. Conversely, when you hear the name Adolf, you might wonder what is wrong with that person or they might be a bad person. There is power in names.
